Understanding lifecycle performance of wet (subsea) and dry tree systems for large, complex reservoirs in ultra-deep water
This last article of a three-part series completes the full life cycle operations assessment, comparing a subsea (wet tree) hub-and-spoke scheme against a phased (two-step) approach using a dry tree concept to develop a complex reservoir in ultra-deep waters. This final article adds analyses of field appraisal and abandonment while reflecting on the ALARP and AHARP concepts.
