5.3.2 Subsea Wells Results For the 543 subsea wells capable of unassisted flow, the main well output has been classified, although most wells can flow both oil and gas. Seventy per cent (380) are classified as dominantly oil wells, 24 per cent (130) are dominantly gas wells and three per cent are condensate (19) wells. Water injection (two per cent) and gas injection (one per cent) make up a smaller proportion of the subsea wells capable of unassisted flow.
