Poll: Which topsides functions have you moved subsea?

As operators pursue lower emissions, smaller platform footprints and longer tieback distances, more processing functions are moving from topsides to the seabed. Tell us which functions your organization has already shifted subsea, or is most likely to move next.

We want to hear from you—executives, engineers, consultants and offshore professionals—about which offshore oil and gas region you would like Offshore to cover in greater depth.

The offshore industry continues to push more equipment and processing capabilities to the seabed, helping unlock longer tiebacks, improve production efficiency, reduce topsides weight and support lower-carbon field developments.

From subsea separation and boosting systems to water treatment, injection and chemical processing technologies, operators and suppliers are evaluating which functions can deliver the greatest value when relocated beneath the surface.

In this month's Offshore reader poll, we'd like to hear about your experience. Which topsides functions has your organization already moved subsea, or which are you most seriously considering for future developments? Cast your vote and see how your peers are approaching subsea processing and field architecture decisions.

Your anonymous input will help guide Offshore's future coverage and spark industry discussion across our digital publications and social platforms.
