Hutton TLP marine operations

· J. Pet. Technol.; (United States)
This paper reviews the planning and execution of the marine operations for the Hutton tension leg platform (TLP), including well template installation, site preparation, foundation installation, temporary anchorages, mating, major tows, and TLP installation. Planning the work to meet project objectives resulted in the use of a number of new techniques and advanced equipment applications. These included underwater pile hammers and special acoustic equipment to provide positioning information during underwater operations. However, the detailed planning that preceded each operation enhanced the effectiveness of the equipment significantly. Further, it contributed materially to the attainment of first oil only 22 days after TLP installation.
