Surface & Subsea

«Subsea» means «under the sea» and refers to equipment, systems, or operations that take place below the water’s surface. For example, subsea equipment includes parts of drilling and production systems installed on the seabed to extract oil and gas from underwater wells. In contrast, «Surface» refers to everything that takes place on the water’s surface. This includes drilling platforms, production facilities, or control rooms on an oil platform.
