• The type of completion defines where the tubing hanger resides
• Anything above the tubing hanger can be removed without disturbing the well
14
Typical Tree Decision Drivers
• Financial driver is “installed CAPEX”
• Lower well count projects that cannot justify expense of open water completion riser
• High drive wells or multilaterals (have need for large bore ≥ 7”)
• Complex reservoirs or frequent workovers requiring tubing retrieval
• ESP technology• Batch drilling/completion and/or
requirement for drill thru systems
• Financial driver is “life-of-field OPEX”
• Large well count projects (or portfolios of projects) that can justify and benefit from investment in open water completion riser system
• Lower drive wells (smaller bore)• Simple reservoirs or low
frequency of tubing retrieval workovers
• High pressure - difficult well control issues
