Development of the guyed tower to support deepwater oil and gas production operations has been underway for about two decades. In the summer of 1983, a major milestone was reached with the installation of the first guyed tower production platform on the Lena field in the Gulf of Mexico. The authors trace the history of the development of this concept within their companies from the seed ideas in the early 1960s, through a major offshore test, to the installation of the Lena guyed tower. Possible future developments are also discussed.
