ABSTRACT:
Subsea template and method for using the same. A subsea template includes a plurality of gimballed joints for receiving piles therethrough which are anchored in the sea floor. Also included are a plurality of gimballed joints for receiving well conductors therethrough. A template is lowered to the sea floor. The piles and well casings are inserted into their associated gimballed joints from a substantially vertical axis and when finally positioned, are fixedly connected to the gimballed joint associated therewith thus obviating the need for leveling the template.
