Abstract
A method and device for producing effluent contained in a submarine geological formation which enables a submarine transfer of a petroleum output over short and medium distances between, for example, a hydrocarbon deposit and a hydrocarbon processing platform located over a larger deposit developed previously. At least one wellhead of the wells in the geological formation is connected to a production line feeding into the processing platform, with a pumping module being provided in the form of a jet pump connecting the wellheads to the production line whereby the hydrocarbons are pumped from the outlets of the well heads to the processing zone by the jet pump.
