Field Development Plan — Big Bend (Noble)

Generated by the worldenergydata field-development playbook (epic #567). Recommendation is heuristic (Concept Select / FEL-1 fidelity), not a sanctioned design.

Engineering rationale

No as-built concept is recorded for this matched field. The engine's top recommendation on the field inputs is Semisub Fps (Concept-Select fidelity).
