Nine operating semisubmersible and tanker production platform facilities are currently supplying the technology and experiential data necessary for development of floating production systems for depth applications of 1000 to 10,000 ft. Sedco-Hamilton Production Services has developed a 4-well deepwater system consisting of a floating tanker or semi moored on short lines to 4 permanent catenary moored springbuoys. The platform is linked to a seabed tree array through the hull centerline via a flexible, retrievable production riser bundle. Costs associated with floating production platforms normally are lower than those of fixed platforms. A major factor is the decision to convert an existing drilling rig into the production mode or alternatively opt for a new build.
