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.
CASE STUDY How a Small California Company is Innovating in Turbulent Times May 25, 2021 Share Every player in the survey industry has been affected by the pandemic in unique ways. What each had in common though, was an almost complete halt of face-to-face interaction with competitors and collaborators alike. Seafloor Systems, based in Northern California, took this opportunity to focus on its product development and advance the autonomous capabilities of its existing remote survey platforms.

Transformative R&D Sets the Stage for Cleaner, More Secure Energy Future Written by AZoCleantechDec 14 2020 The oceans, constituting waves on the water, winds above the water and currents beneath the surface, offer immense energy potential. Although offshore wind energy (OSW) and marine renewable energy (MRE) industries in the United States are just developing, they are major reliable forms of low-carbon energy that can be advantageous to coastal communities and power the developing Blue Economy—which points to the sustainable utilization of ocean resources.
