The Underwater Manifold Centre (UMC) was installed in the Cormorant field in the North Sea during May 1982 to develop a segment of the field which could not be reached from the two existing platforms. This paper describes the basic design layout and major sub-systems of the UMC and reviews the design philosophy and criteria employed to achieve safety, reliability and flexibility. Described is a second-generation system based on Shell and Esso's previous subsea technology and experience. The paper concludes that the UMC is capable of providing the necessary facilities to recover reserves in a safe and reliable manner.
