3. Gas field architecture

3.1 Shallow water production

At shallow depths, typically less than 100 m, the layout of the platforms reflects their function (figures 7 and 8 ). The following platforms can be distinguished:

wellhead platforms (or subsea wellheads) ;
dehydration platform ;
glycol regeneration platform ;
neighborhood-life platform.
