GOM Deepwater Radar MCP Server

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).

Grounded directly in the canonical technical whitepaper:

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

Capabilities & Available Tools

| Tool Name | Governing Standard / Basis | Primary Function | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | bsee_hpht_regulatory_classifier | 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. | | lookup_gom_protraction_area | 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. | | estimate_tieback_economics | 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). |
