Petrobras' development of Cascade and Chinook fields in the US GUlf of Mexico will use FPSO (floating, production, storage, and offloading) vessel in the initial phase. The use of shuttle tankers will provide a competitive alternative to pipeline transport of crude production, even if shuttle tanker use remains generally limited. The development of Cascade Chinook via FPSO and shuttle tanker is an important first step in establishing this type of facility in the remote, ultradeep waters of the US gulf. This article analyzes the transportation options of a hypothetical oil discovery in a remote part of the Lower Tertiary play, comparing the costs of shuttle tanker use to paying tariffs through new and existing pipelines.
