Subsea oil/gas fields may have a plurality of wells linked to a host facility that receives the oil/gas via flowlines. Such a field may have a subsea well field architecture that employs either single or dual flowlines designed in a looped arrangement with in-line pipe line end termination("PLET") units positioned at selective locations for well access. The linkage between wells creates a need for PLETs to be deployed within prescribed target box areas to allow for well jumper connections to the flowline. 2, record 2, English, - pipeline%20end%20termination

[…] la vase, les particules ou les sédiments qui recouvrent le fond marin autour de la plaque d'appui rectangulaire sont entièrement recouverts par le tapis de protection. Ainsi malgré la distance relativement faible qui sépare l'extrémité de raccordement et le fond marin, lorsque le robot sous-marin intervient pour raccorder par exemple une conduite montante à l'extrémité de raccordement, ses moyens de propulsion perturbent essentiellement les couches d'eau situées à la surface du tapis de protection ce qui ne soulève aucune particule et n'augmente pas la turbidité de l'eau au voisinage de l'élément de structure.

The umbilical is an essential item of equipment for offshore oil and gas developments based on the use of subsea facilities. It provides the links from the host facility through which control is exercised, power is transmitted and utilities such as injection chemicals are supplied to the subsea wells. The umbilical is a long, flexible construction – its length can be anything from a few miles(kilometers) to more than 180 miles(200 kilometers) – which consists of tubes, cables, armorings, fillers and wrapping contained within a protective sheath. 2, record 3, English, - umbilical

Natural gas is most commonly stored under pressure in three different types of underground facilities. The most common type of storage facility is depleted oil and natural gas fields. Converting a field from production to storage has the advantage of existing infrastructure such as wells, gathering systems, and pipeline connections. The second most common type of natural gas storage facility is natural aquifers, which are frequently used in the Midwest. Natural aquifers are suitable for gas storage if water-bearing sedimentary rock is overlain with an impermeable cap rock but usually require more base gas than depleted oil fields. Caverns constructed in natural salt deposits are the third most common type of storage facility and are used primarily along the Gulf Coast. 2, record 10, English, - storage%20facility
