Subsea tiebacks connect offshore oil and gas fields to existing production facilities via pipelines. One way to think of a tieback is as a long garden hose running from a faucet to a garden-or, in this case, from a resource to a production facility.
To create a tieback, an oil and gas company drills wells on the seabed and then installs equipment that directs the hydrocarbon flow through a gathering system.
The hydrocarbons are transported, via flowlines, to a host platform, where minimal processing is done.
Tiebacks enable the extraction of oil and gas from remote or deep locations without the need for a new, stand-alone production platform.
