Abstract

Summary The offshore industry has shown significant interest in deepwater production in the Gulf of Mexico, as evidenced by the large number of deepwater leases. This paper addresses an innovative method to control cost of field-development wells on deepwater leases. Drilling tender rigs have been economically attractive in shallow water depths. The limitations experienced by conventional tenders in deep water with regard to mooring and motions in a seaway can be overcome by use of a semisubmersible tender.
