Abstract:
A towable unit for subsea processing of well fluids comprises a pipeline bundle extending between, and capable of acting in tension between, a first towhead at an upstream end of the bundle and a second towhead at a downstream end of the bundle. At least one of the towheads has an on-board processing facility for processing the well fluids, which facility effects at least separation of water phases that are present in the well fluids.
