Part 2 of this three-part series examines the full lifecycle operations simulations performed using BMT’s SLOOP event domain software, to compare subsea (wet tree) and dry tree concepts. This article argues for using a permanently moored dry tree concept with key performance statistics of DP MODUs and platform rigs.

This first article of a three-part series introduces the basis and results of 30-year lifecycle operation simulations performed to compare a subsea (wet tree) hub and spoke scheme to a dry tree phased approach using Frontier’s concepts to develop major discoveries in the ultra-deep high-pressure Gulf of Mexico.
