What factors influence the rig cost?

The rig cost is determined by the `get_rig_daily_rate` tool, which considers whether the well is onshore or offshore and the complexity level of the operation.

How are material costs calculated?

Material costs are estimated using `estimate_material_costs`, which uses well depth, complexity, and the specific regulatory standard (e.g., US_EPA) to determine the required cement and fluids.

Can I include a contingency buffer in the estimate?

Yes, the `compute_total_pa_cost` tool allows you to specify a contingency percentage to account for unforeseen geological or mechanical issues.

More Details Connect to Claude

This MCP provides specialized tools to estimate the total cost of Plugging and Abandonment (P&A) for oil and gas wells. It calculates rig daily rates using get_rig_daily_rate, estimates material requirements with estimate_material_costs, determines mechanical intervention needs via calculate_intervention_work, and aggregates all components into a final estimate using compute_total_pa_cost. It accounts for location type, well depth, complexity, and regulatory standards like US_EPA or EU_NORSOK.
