Falcon Corridor: Infrastructure with Future Marginal Fields in Mind

摘要

The original Falcon Field consisted of two subsearndevelopment wells in a water depth of 3450 feet tied back 32.6rnmiles to a new host platform in a water depth of 389 feetrnShortly before first production at Falcon, the Harrier discoveryrnwas made. Two additional discoveries (Tomahawk andrnRaptor) occurred during the Harrier development.rnAlthough the Falcon field was large enough to justify thernlong distance tie-back to a new host facility, Harrier,rnTomahawk and Raptor were dependent upon a readilyrnavailable and flexible infrastructure that allowed for shorterrntie-back distances and rapid project execution.rnThis paper presents an overview of the Falcon Corridorrndevelopment project with a focus on the expandablerninfrastructure and the project execution strategy that allowedrnadditional discoveries in the Falcon Corridor to be put on linernin rapid succession.
