Template Functions
• The primary function of a subsea template is to provide guidance for positioning
wells and controlling their positions relative to one another.
– To provide a guide for positioning the well conductor and guiding the conductor during
installation.
– To provide guidance and support for well completion equipment (e.g. trees) in some
cases.
– To collect the flow from individual satellite wells into a production header
and control the delivery of the commingled flow to a field production
gathering flowline
– To collect the flow from several field production gathering flowlines and
deliver that flow to a larger production export pipeline.
– To isolate the production from individual wells and deliver it to a well test
header or a well test flowline.
– To segregate high pressure and low pressure production into separate high
pressure and low pressure headers and flowlines.
– To control the flow from individual wells by means of subsea chokes. Wells
may be choked at the trees or at the manifold.
Manifold functions (contd)
– To distribute injection water or gas from a common supply header to
individual injection wells (water injection or gas injection manifolds).
– To distribute lift gas from a common lift gas header to individual wells (lift
gas manifold).
