Abstract

A subsea manifold (150) is integrated into a pipeline (22) so as to be deployable to the seabed together with the pipeline, from a pipe-laying vessel. The subsea manifold comprises a hub (106a, 106b) for receiving production fluid from at least one subsea christmas tree (54a, 54b), and further comprises a connection (112) for at least one service line (116) connected to a surface supply or control or monitoring facility.
