ABSTRACT:
A subsea and modular tanker-based hydrocarbon production system comprising a plurality of interlinked individual tank units which is wholly submersible, is wholly detachable from, and wholly re-attachable to, its associated subsea wellhead infrastructure. Modularity of the interlinked tank unit system allows for the processing, measurement, and storage of hydrocarbons from a wide variety of offshore hazard and water-depth related conditions and situations. In addition to being both detachable and re-attachable, the modularity of the system provides for a number of unit systems to be conjoined at surface and towed to market.
