A method for the evaluation of unmanned oil and gas development concepts is presented.

Production – average and variability – is calculated to capture development concept revenue risks; manning logistics to prove operability and quantify OPEX. The life cycle simulation method accounts for equipment reliability, maintenance logistics, and operational constraints such as CSON 58.1
