A deterministic, open-access Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing regulatory classification, protraction area intelligence, and capital expenditure heuristics for the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf (OCS).

Gulf Coast Subsea Technical Insights: Deepwater Gulf of Mexico Subsea Overview: 20K PSI Architecture, SURF Tie-Backs, and Field Economics (2026–2030)
Permanent Academic DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.23008481
Tool Name | Governing Standard / Basis | Primary Function |
| BSEE NTL 2019-G03 / API 17TR8 | Evaluates shut-in tubing pressure (SITP) and bottomhole temperature to determine whether a project triggers BSEE 20,000 PSI Tier-1 regulations, mandatory Independent Third-Party (I3P) verification, and Certified Verification Agent (CVA) approvals. |
| BOEM Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) | Looks up deepwater protraction areas (MC, GC, WR, KC, AC, VK, AT), returning bathymetric depth envelopes, Paleogene Wilcox/Miocene geological trends, and regional host platform infrastructure. |
| GCS 2026-2030 Benchmark Model | Models subsea tieback capital expenditures (CAPEX), flow assurance distance flags (>20 miles), and breakeven oil price comparisons ($25-$35/bbl vs $55-$65/bbl for standalone FPUs). |

Regulatory Disclaimer: This tool provides regulatory screening derived from public BSEE and BOEM guidance documents for conceptual evaluation and AI agent verification. Formal Deepwater Operations Plan (DWOP) submittals and offshore facility permits strictly require filing through registered offshore operators and review by licensed Professional Engineers (PE).
Classifies Gulf of Mexico deepwater wells under BSEE NTL 2019-G03 and API 17TR8 guidelines, determining whether 20,000 PSI Tier-1 regulations, Independent Third-Party (I3P) verification, and Certified Verification Agent (CVA) approvals are legally triggered.
Inputs: shut_in_tubing_pressure_psi (required), water_depth_ft, bottomhole_temperature_f.
Evaluates subsea tieback capital expenditures (CAPEX), breakeven oil prices ($25-$35/bbl), and flow assurance distance thresholds versus standalone greenfield floating production units (FPUs).
Inputs: tieback_distance_miles (required), host_type, water_depth_ft, production_rate_bpd.
Looks up BOEM Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) deepwater protraction areas in the Gulf of Mexico (MC, GC, WR, KC, AC, VK, AT), returning water depths, geological Wilcox/Miocene trends, and flagship host platform hubs.
Inputs: area_code (required).

Scored across 3 tools
Each tool serves a clearly distinct purpose: regulatory classification, protraction-area lookup, and tieback economics. There is no overlap in the resource or action being targeted, so an agent can easily select the right tool.
All names use snake_case and are descriptive, but the first tool lacks an action verb and instead leads with an agency/acronym, while the other two follow a verb-noun pattern. The inconsistency is minor and does not impair readability.
Three tools are well-scoped for a focused deepwater analysis server, and each tool covers a distinct analytical dimension. The count is small but not trivially thin, given the specificity of the domain.
The surface covers regulatory classification, geological area lookup, and tieback economics, but it lacks direct well, platform, pipeline, or production-data access that a 'deepwater radar' user might reasonably expect. These gaps are notable though workable for the three supported workflows.
