- Subsea tiebacks connect new discoveries to existing production facilities, improving the economics of offshore oil and gas production and transforming marginal fields into profitable assets. Indeed, at a time when many of the world's major offshore oil and gas fields are reaching maturity, new discoveries tend to be smaller – and therefore more challenging to exploit in a cost-effective manner. Many companies are pushing forward the technology of subsea tiebacks to produce more oil and gas at a lower cost, over longer distances and in deeper waters. Deployment of subsea tiebacks maximizes the life of existing production infrastructure.
