Today, offshore platforms are installed in water as deep as 5,000 ft. Gulf of Mexico offshore platforms can be categorized by the water-depth ranges where they are cost-effective: Fixed-base rigid platforms (to approximately 1,400 ft); Compliant towers (1,200 to 2,000 ft); and Floating systems (deeper than 1,600 ft). The paper describes production and equipment, design, platform concepts, in-place considerations, fabrication considerations, and installation considerations.
