Abstract
System for the transport of an unprocessed well stream comprising a multiphase, multicomponent mixture over long distances from one or several subsea wells A to a terminal F. The well stream, which is transported in one or several pipelines (10), running via at least one well A and to the terminal F, is supplied transport pressure by means of one or several fluid driven pumps (26) in the vicinity of the wells and/or fluid driven pipeline pumps (27) along the pipelines.
