● Due to platform weight limitations, the operation was required to use a Mud Suspension / MLS tieback system
● Some of the challenges utilizing the Drill-Quip MS 15 (15 k psi)
 Was difficult to use UNIHEAD-type wellheads, due to the space out WH – MLSS (although, we managed to complete the run)
 MLSS imposed additional internal ID restrictions due to the landing profiles for the ML hangers, which we found reduced the traditional contingency casing strings.
 Created a tight tolerance situation (ID), to run liner hangers and some packers, bridge plugs and cement retainers, we ran a gauge ring prior to running the LH tools
 Comparison costs were within range of each other however we were forced to use a company that could deliver in a timely manner
 Because of time constraints we had NPT because MLSS assemblies offline prior to RIH. In the future MLSS be included in the planning stages and assembled in the workshop
 Mandated to land the conductor (with MLSS buttweld sub) to be set at the right depth
 following casing strings must land on the MLSS, so leaving a casing off bottom would be problematic – Rat hole was minimal due to geological depths
 Delivery times for MLSS was very tight because well was not planned for the MLSS
● Tasked with ensuring all updated directional programs are being followed
● Tasked with ensuring all updated directional programs are being followed
