Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . An offshore oil production system, comprising:
a structure in a body of water, having a portion extending above a surface of the body of water; a surface wellhead located at a top of the body of water; a first wellhead located at a bottom of the body of water; a second wellhead located at a bottom of the body of water; a first riser extending from the first wellhead to the surface wellhead; and a second riser extending from the second wellhead to the surface wellhead.
2 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a first wellbore extending further into a subsea formation beneath the body of water and beneath the first wellhead, and further comprising a second wellbore extending further into the subsea formation beneath the body of water and beneath the second wellhead.
3 . The system of claim 2 , further comprising a production tubing within each of the first wellbore and the second wellbore.
4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein each production tubing extends from first wellbore and the second wellbore to the surface wellhead.
5 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising an outer riser extending from the surface wellhead at least a portion of the distance towards the first and second wellheads, the first riser and the second riser located within the outer riser.
6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the outer riser comprises at least one divider to separate the riser into at least two regions.
7 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the first wellbore further comprises a casing string.
