Hybrid Wells
Well drilled with a subsea wellhead and completed with a surface casing head, a surface tubing head, a surface tubing hanger and a surface tree.
- Note: 1 to entry: A hybrid well can have either one (single-bore production riser) casing string or two (dual-bore production riser) casing strings brought up from the subsea wellhead and tied back to the surface equipment.
These wells are typically located on floating production platforms, e.g. tension-leg platforms (TLPs).
