What serves as the replacement rig on the water?

Has something else been floated in? Also, how is the flow up top regulated from one tanker to the next?
Thanks in advance.

Not sure I understand the question.

I would assume the gas is being flared off and the oil is just pumped from the Enterprise to another vessel that brings it to the nearest production platform which can handle it.

So what stabilizes the existing line from which the oils is being contained? The tanker itself??
I just was wondering how exactly yhey are obtaining oil from a well with no rig, and how they transport the line receiving the oil from 1 tanker to the next. Are they able to regulate flow easily once contained?

Once it passes through the separator the oil will be at atmospheric pressure.

there's a rig on location that the well is flowing to, the discoverer enterprise. it happens to have production equipment and ~100k bbls of oil storage equipment built into the hull.
the oil can be stored in the hull then lightered off to waiting barges for transport to land; however, i am not sure what they are actually doing in this regard.
