Abstract

Method of oil production comprising drilling at least one seabed well by means of a drilling platform (1, 15) attached to the seabed (2) substantially directly over the well head (3), connecting the well head by means of pipeline (5) to a floating production platform (7) spaced laterally from the well head, and producing and storing oil by way of the floating production platform, the respective functions of the drilling and the production platforms being substantially discrete.
