## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for offshore engineering economics. It allows users to determine the most efficient platform type using `get_optimal_configuration`, calculate physical footprints with `estimate_deck_dimensions`, perform full lifecycle cost analysis via `calculate_lifecycle_costs`, and assess environmental risks through `analyze_metocean_impact`. It balances production profiles against CAPEX, water depth, and metocean conditions to guide structural decisions.

## Tools

### analyze_metocean_impact
Evaluates how environmental conditions will drive up the structural weight and costs

### calculate_lifecycle_costs
Provides a full economic breakdown of the platform's total investment lifecycle

### estimate_deck_dimensions
Calculates the physical footprint and deck area needed to support the production equipment

### get_optimal_configuration
Determines the most economically efficient platform type based on environment and production needs

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the best platform type for a site with 500m water depth and 50,000 annual production at medium metocean severity?
```

**Response:** 
```
The optimal configuration for these conditions is a floating platform.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the deck area for a fixed platform with 20,000 annual production and 5 wells.
```

**Response:** 
```
The required deck area is 4,500 square meters with a topside weight capacity of 2,500 tonnes.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the lifecycle costs for a floating platform with 3,000 tonnes topside weight at 400m depth?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total CAPEX is $450,000,000, consisting of $250,000,000 for fabrication, $150,000,000 for installation, and $50,000,000 for decommissioning.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I find the best platform for my site?**
You can use the `get_optimal_configuration` tool, providing the water depth, expected annual production, and metocean severity.

**Can I calculate the total cost of the project?**
Yes, the `calculate_lifecycle_costs` tool provides a breakdown of fabrication, installation, and decommissioning costs.

**How does environmental severity affect my design?**
The `analyze_metocean_impact` tool evaluates how waves and wind increase structural weight and risk factors.
