    Abstract: A system and method for creating a subsea well for the production or injection of hydrocarbons, fluids, or gases which can include installing an assembly having a subsea template and at least one conductor housing installed in a slot in the template. A drill string can be passed through the at least one conductor housing and drill directly into the seafloor to create a first bore associated with the slot in the template. The bore can be of a diameter suitable for a surface casing and the surface casing can be passed through the conductor housing and into the bore.

    Abstract: The invention relates to the drilling of subsurface oil and gas wells and the installation of subsurface equipment (11). A lifting vessel 7 brings heavy equipment such as Xmas trees or manifolds and wet parks this equipment (11) on the seafloor (5) during good weather when the significant wave height is low. The equipment (11), once it is underwater, has much lower weight and may easily be moved into place onto a wellhead (10) at an appropriate time using lower capacity lifting gear. The timing of this operation is much less sensitive to weather conditions because the equipment does not need to pass through the splash zone (sea surface). This makes for efficient use of expensive drilling rig time, and allows for acceleration of production of first wells on the template as critical heavy lifts could not else be done until rig has left the location. (FIG. 1).

    Abstract: Systems and methods contain fluids discharged from a subsea well or at the surface by capping the well blowout with a pre-positioned capping device and diverting flow of hydrocarbons to a secondary location for disposal/handling in situations where casing integrity is compromised preventing ability to close in the flow of the hydrocarbons. The capping device includes at least one blind shear ram and is separate from a blowout preventer. Different personnel offsite of a rig drilling the well may have access and control to operate the device.
