Abstract:With the economics of deepwater production driving subsea technology development, the ability to extend tieback distances is critical to the continued effort to reduce CAPEX for deepwater projects. In "mature" regions such as the GOM shelf and the UK North Sea, the tie in of remote satellite developments is already extending the life of existing platforms beyond their original decommissioning dates, yet there are many potential developments just out of reach of current tieback technology. At the leading edge o… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
