Prioritise APAC SURF readiness after FPSO and subsea signals

“The well also represents a successful integration of subsurface, drilling and completion disciplines, demonstrating how coordinated delivery can unlock both technical and commercial value. Beyond its immediate performance, the first MLT well establishes a compelling business case for wider deployment of multilateral technology across the field

Morrice outlined: “Delivered with strong safety performance and no incidents, the first MLT well was completed 30 days ahead of plan, with both drilling and completion phases significantly outperforming timelines

” MLT diagram; Courtesy of BP The operator, which confirmed the deployment of multilateral well technology (MLT) last month, described the MLT’s first application in ACG as a significant step forward in efforts to step up recovery and sustain long-term production from one of the Caspian’s most mature assets. The introduction of MLT is perceived to address the technical challenges of drilling through complex formations in ACG, alongside increasing constraints on available platform slots

BW Offshore explains that production is being managed in close coordination with the operator of the Barossa field during this phase of the ramp-up and commissioning program. The company emphasizes that it remains focused on safe and stable operations, the completion of the remaining commissioning activities, and progress toward practical completion, which will mark the commencement of the long-term firm contract period for the vessel

Aker BP believes the development concept under consideration, which entails a subsea tie-back to existing Johan Sverdrup infrastructure, enables efficient development with low unit costs, low emissions, and a short lead time from investment decision to first production
