Subsea BOP use from a HDJU on an HPHT well

Hi,

Currently there is not an 18.75" HP Riser system on the market in the UK region that is rated for >12,500psi.

I'm looking for any feedback from the forum about any experience (good and bad) gained when using a SS BOP from a Jack-up. 

1. What drove you to making the decision to run or not run a SS BOP in this manner?
2. What were the lessons you learned towards repeating or not repeating the use of the SS BOP from a Jack-up?
3. What kind of duration was required to source bespoke equipment and make any necessary modifications to the rig?
4. Using the SS BOP in this manner in harsher environments like the North Sea are of particular interest but feedback from other regions will also be most welcome.

Thanks

Ron
