The Minimum Space Platform Rig (MSPR) concept, pioneered by Pool Offshore Co. in 1969, has gained wide acceptance in the Gulf of Mexico, offshore California, and in international waters for its ability to operate within restricted space limitations on offshore drilling and production platforms. The same design features that make the concept so adaptable to a wide range of platform deck configurations have proved operationally and economically advantageous for drilling onshore, over multiwell cellars, and on such restricted locations as townsite lots and on hillsides in rugged terrain.
