A flow control module includes an inlet hub coupled to a first flow passage having a first flow bore, a flow meter, and a choke disposed in a second flow passage having a second flow bore, where the second flow passage is coupled to a distal end of the first flow passage. The flow meter is associated with the first flow bore and positioned for top-down fluid flow. The flow control module also includes an outlet hub coupled to a distal end of the second flow passage, where the outlet hub faces in a different direction from the inlet hub.
