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
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
wells. • Considers only surface systems or wells with a surface tree in less than 300-ft water depth. Hybrid wells and wet trees (subsea wells) in water depth greater than 300 ft require a separate assessment. • Assumes P&A technology remains essentially
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
completions. The spar is designed to process as much as 130,000 boe/d (100,000 bo/d and 200 MMcfd of natural gas) from wet - tree production systems. Perdido is the first Gulf of Mexico spar to have hydrocarbon storage tanks for flow assurance. Shell
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
rig floor equipment to eliminate manual torque wrenches, hammers, etc. The Perdido spar features the first application of wet tree , direct vertical access (DVA) wells from a spar-type floating production system. It is fitted with a single high-pressure
