Desiring to reduce field development costs, operators continue to explore variations on conventional subsea drilling and completion methods. One variation experiencing renewed interest is the 'through bore' subsea tree. The 'Side Valve Through Bore' (SVTB) tree design in particular is described in this paper as an alternative method to conventional completion techniques. It offers advantages over a conventional system under certain circumstances. Industry studies have been undertaken to evaluate the SVTB tree technology as it applies to particular site applications. This paper addresses the technology in a general manner. Characteristics, variations and advantages of the system are addressed and should assist potential users of the technology in their application.
