This paper presents a description of the monitoring programs used during construction of Tarsiut Island and during the drilling of the Tarsiut N-44 exploration well. The objectives of this program were threefold: to ensure that the island was constructed according to acceptable design standards, to ensure that the island performed satisfactorily under the imposed environmental loads throughout the drilling of the Tarsiut N-44 exploration well, and to collect data that could be used to streamline the design of future islands. A description of the monitoring strategy and instrumentation is presented. Typical results are reviewed and recommendations for future programs are given.
