The Condeep Skirt Pile described in this paper is a central fixed production platform which could offer greater topside flexibility as well as reduced settlement compared with other gravity platforms. The new design resembles a stretched version of the successful Condeep gravity platforms for medium water depths, with a multicell foundation and up to four shafts extended to carry the deck. This solution permits a more flexible topside layout with wider separation between the living quarters and hazardous areas. It also provides a larger volume in the shafts compared with a monotower for accomodating conductors and risers from the many satellite wells planned on West Troll and utilities.
