Abstract
A method of extending the working range of a main platform installation for oil deposits at sea involves: (1) positioning a temporary floating station at a location distance from the main platform installation and near to an oil deposit having small individual production capacity; (2) connecting the floating station with at least one well head of said oil deposit; (3) bringing up multi-component effluents from the at least one well head and pumping the effluents to the main platform installation; (4) when production of the effluents from said deposit ends, removing the floating station; and then (5) repositioning the floating station at at least one other oil deposit located at a distant location from said main platform installation to work the at least one other deposit. Also a facility for carrying out this method as described.
