This MCP server provides specialized economic decision-support tools for offshore oil and gas development. It allows users to evaluate the trade-offs between connecting a new field to existing infrastructure (tieback) or building a dedicated facility (standalone). The server includes tools to compare_development_options by calculating Net Present Value (NPV), calculate_breakeven_distance to find the critical distance where development strategies shift, validate_host_capacity to ensure production profiles fit within host constraints, and estimate_operational_costs to model lifecycle OPEX including host tariffs.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

validate_host_capacity

Verifies if tieback is physically feasible given host capacity

calculate_breakeven_distance

Calculates the distance where tieback becomes less economical than standalone

compare_development_options

Compares NPV for tieback vs standalone development

estimate_operational_costs

Calculates total lifecycle OPEX for both scenarios

Compare the NPV for a field with 100M barrels, 20km distance, a production profile of {"annualRates": [10, 10, 5]}, standalone CAPEX of 500, tieback CAPEX of 100, tariff of 2, capacity of 15, and 10% discount rate.

The preferred option is the tieback development with an NPV of 450.2 million, compared to the standalone NPV of 380.5 million.

Is a tieback feasible for a production profile of {"annualRates": [20, 15, 10]} with a host capacity limit of 18?

No, the tieback is not feasible because the peak production in year 1 (20) exceeds the host capacity limit of 18.

What is the break-even distance for a field with 50M barrels, standalone CAPEX of 400, tieback CAPEX per km of 5, tariff of 1, capacity of 10, and 8% discount rate?

The break-even distance is 35.4 km. Beyond this distance, a standalone facility becomes the more economical choice.

The `validate_host_capacity` tool checks the production profile against the host limit. If any annual production exceeds the limit, the tieback is flagged as infeasible.
