subsea processing

Subsea processing involves performing oil and gas extraction tasks directly underwater, close to the wellhead on the seabed. Instead of bringing raw materials to the surface for processing, equipment installed underwater separates, treats, and prepares the hydrocarbons right at the source. This approach reduces the need for large processing facilities on drilling platforms, improves efficiency, and allows access to deeper or more challenging reservoirs. Essentially, subsea processing makes underwater production smarter and more economical by handling certain operations directly in the water before the oil or gas is transported for final refining.
