Abstract

The present invention is directed to various embodiments of a subsea production system. In one illustrative embodiment, a subsea completion system includes a tubing string, a Christmas tree defining a bottom opening adapted to have the tubing string inserted therein, and means for latching the tubing string to prevent movement relative to the Christmas tree. A method includes coupling a tubing string with a Christmas tree above water and landing the Christmas tree on a subsea wellhead.
