This paper presents an overview of the Shell Offshore Inc. (SOI) Popeye project, a remote subsea gas development in 2,040 ft of water in the Gulf of Mexico. Planning and execution of the project required a balance throughout between proven methods, cost reduction, requirement for extending technology, and the desire to develop a system which could be used as a stepping stone to future deepwater prospects. Popeye was successfully installed and started up in January 1996. It represents application of an innovative, yet cost-effective, field development system that advanced the state of deepwater subsea technology.
