Subsea trees are, like land trees, primary means of flow control for subsea wells and consist of series of valves and sometimes a flow control device (choke) along the flow path of produced fluid with associated controls equipment, Figure 19. Although trees in early days of subsea development relied heavily on diver assistance in installation and operation, the trend is toward less reliance and remotely operated connectors, valves and chokes by means of hydraulics are used extensively. They are installed by drilling rigs using guidelines established between a pre-installed guide base structure and a rig for positioning and orientating. For deep waters where use of guidelines is not practical, guidelineless system is available.
