Generated by the worldenergydata field-development playbook (epic #567). Recommendation is heuristic (Concept Select / FEL-1 fidelity), not a sanctioned design.
The engine's top recommendation (Semisub Fps) differs from the concept actually built (Spar). The recommendation is produced on a blind probe (the as-built concept stripped before scoring); the shortlist below shows where the built concept ranks. Divergence is expected where the real choice turned on data outside the engine's inputs (reserves, schedule, operator preference).
| Concept | Score | Trees | Rationale / flags |
|---|---|---|---|
| semisub_fps | 0.793 | wet | typical of gom development practice; large reserves (417 MMboe) justify a dedicated host |
| spar ★ | 0.777 | dry | typical of gom development practice; large reserves (417 MMboe) justify a dedicated host |
| subsea_to_shore | 0.694 | wet | large reserves (417 MMboe) justify a dedicated host |
| fpso | 0.608 | wet | large reserves (417 MMboe) justify a dedicated host atypical concept for gom |
| flng | 0.537 | wet | large reserves (417 MMboe) justify a dedicated host atypical concept for gom |
★ = the concept actually selected for this field (where known).
