Field Development Plan — Tiber
Summary
Tiber is part of the sanctioned Tiber-Guadalupe shared-host development; hub totals are not assigned to Tiber alone.
Historical source snapshot, not a current operating-status assertion or a sanctioned engineering design. Missing inputs are preserved as unknown.
Revision history
| Revision | Date | What changed and why |
|---|---|---|
| Initial | 2026-10-19 | Documented the reported development concept and evidence gaps to provide a field-level portfolio reference. |
| 1 | 2026-10-20 | Formatted whole-number inputs without decimal padding for readability. |
Engineering rationale
The announcement describes a new production hub with Tiber wells and a Guadalupe tieback, reusing Kaskida platform and subsea designs. Design reuse is the reported rationale for delivery efficiencies; no independent cost saving or feasibility calculation is made here.
Field parameters
| Input | Value | Source and scope |
|---|---|---|
| Operator at source date | BP | S1: Announcement identifies the development as BP operated. |
| Reported development concept | semisub_fps | S1: Announcement identifies a floating platform using Kaskida designs; semisubmersible classification is from reports/lower_tertiary/lifecycle/_facts.json, tiber.host_type (repository snapshot). |
| Host | Shared Tiber-Guadalupe floating production platform | S1: Announcement covers the combined Tiber-Guadalupe hub, not a standalone Tiber facility. |
| Water depth (m) | Unknown | Required input; not established by the cited evidence. |
| Wells (scope stated below) | 6 | S1: Scope states six Tiber wells plus a separate two-well Guadalupe tieback; only Tiber wells enter this field count. |
| Designed peak capacity (boe/d) | Unknown | Required input; not established by the cited evidence. |
| Reported oil capacity (bbl/d; not a boe/d plateau) | 80000 | S1: 80,000 bpd crude capacity belongs to the combined hub; no Tiber boe/d plateau is inferred. |
| Recoverable resources (MMboe) | Unknown | Required input; not established by the cited evidence. |
| Actual first-oil year | Unknown | Required input; not established by the cited evidence. |
Architecture
Tiber wells and the separate Guadalupe tieback feed one floating production platform. The semisubmersible classification follows the committed lifecycle research; the opened announcement establishes a floating platform and reuse of the Kaskida design, not a detailed hull specification.
Well coordinates, manifold counts and interconnection lengths are required inputs for a detailed layout. Layout: NOT_EVALUATED; no assumed geometry is drawn.
Recommended concept shortlist
NOT_EVALUATED. The reported concept is documented above; a comparative ranking requires sourced screening limits and criteria weights.
Economics and execution
NOT_EVALUATED. No cost or investment return is inferred from facility capacity. Required inputs include scope-matched capital cost, operating cost, production profile, prices, discount rate and schedule. Equipment qualification and installation feasibility also require project-specific design evidence.
Known limits and way forward
The reported oil capacity and resource totals cover the combined hub. Only the Tiber well count is mapped to FieldConcept; hub resources and forecast startup remain null in Tiber field inputs. Obtain the host design basis, metric depth and scope-specific production allocation before detailed assessment.

Input citations refer to the source dates below. Capacity, planned well count and forecast startup are not measured production.
