A method for connecting a subsea well to a subsea pipeline. The method includes providing a subsea pipeline with a connection station. The connection station has a connector for connecting a fluid conduit to the connector, and a fluid port in a fluid communication with an interior of the subsea pipeline. The method further includes drilling a borehole adjacent to the connection station, locating a wellhead support adjacent to the connection station, connecting the wellhead support to the subsea pipeline, mounting a wellhead on the wellhead support, aligning the wellhead with the borehole to establish a subsea well, mounting a connection module on the wellhead support or on the wellhead, and fluidly connecting the subsea well to the fluid port in the connection station via the connection module.
