assurance were still problem areas. That’s when G.T. Ju, our Subsea lead, suggested that we combine the two into a wet - tree DVA system instead.” The design team thought it over. Management gave them two months to evaluate the idea and make a proposal
accelerated production plan, Shell would route the gathered oil and natural gas from 35 subsea completions – including 22 wet - tree , Direct Vertical Access (DVA) wells clustered beneath the Perdido spar itself – through two seafloor manifolds and then
performances,” says Robert Paterson , vice president Upsteam Major Projects, Americas. They already knew that Perdido would be a wet tree DVA spar, and were convinced that a single-lift topsides would be safer to build and less expensive than a modular system
spar’s host location in the Great White field in order to bring oil and natural gas production from the field’s subsea wet tree wells to the spar’s topsides for subsequent handling and export back to shore. This would be the first such DVA setup
practice running a new field long before first oil. What’s unique about Perdido is that some of the systems – such as the wet - tree direct vertical access wells and the subsea separators – are industry firsts. “On Perdido, the design team pulled Operations
