ATP converts semi for fast-track deepwater development

摘要

With limited infrastructure in the vicinity and an aggressive schedule to first production, ATP elected to develop its Gomez field in the Gulf of Mexico with a converted semisub-mersible rig, a solution that hadn't been used in the Gulf since 1995. The nearest platform for tieback was over 48 km (30 mi) away, which would have introduced a lot of flow assurance problems," says RM Shivers Ⅲ, ATP vice president of projects and Gomez project manager.
