Introduction
 The subsea control system operates the valves and chokes on subsea trees,
manifold/templates, and pipelines.

 It receives and transmits the data between the surface and subsea systems.

 These helps engineers to monitor the status of production by indicating

temperatures, pressures, sand detection, etc.

 The location of control devices is extremely important.

Note: Careful consideration to the location of controls can result in a reduction in the
amount of piping and cabling and the number of connections required, which in turn
influences the subsea installation and retrieval tasks.
