Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The Sea Commander is a subsea oil and gas production control buoy providing electrohydraulic power and chemical injection to remote locations in the downhole tubing string and mudline structures such as christmas trees and manifolds. This paper will describe the evolution of the various buoy-bases subsea production facilities and how this technology was applied and utilized by operators to recover gas from two different remote locations in approximately 300-ft of water.
