The installation of the first single anchor leg mooring (SALM) in United States waters was completed during October 1980 off the coast of California. This SALM forms the vital link between the Hondo Platform, located in 850 ft of water in the Santa Barbara Channel, and an offshore storage and treating vessel moored to the SALM 8,500 ft from the platform. The main emphasis of this paper is on the loadout and water phase construction of the SALM. A brief description of the physical features, design criteria and fabrication of the SALM components is also included. Oil and gas production has been underway in Exxon's Hondo Field since April 1981. Refs.
