The Baldpate deepwater production platform, when installed, will be the tallest freestanding structure in the world. Baldpate facilities include a compliant tower structure, and process and utility equipment capable of handling 60,000 bo/d, 200 MM-scfd, and 75,000 bw/d. Gas and oil pipelines connect the platform to the pipeline infrastructure in the Gulf. The production platform is the first freestanding (nonguyed) offshore tower. It measures 1,902 ft from the seafloor to the tip of the 260-ft flare booms. The paper describes Baldpate field, the reservoir, drilling and completions, structure design, tower structure, pipelines, and installation.
