The tension-leg platform (TLP) is an accepted development option in deepwater Gulf of Mexico projects. The first TLP installed in U.S. coastal waters is now in operation. The authors discuss how the certification of TLP's under current U.S. regulations is a new experience for the platform operators accustomed to operating in the Gulf of Mexico and for the regulatory bodies with platform-design jurisdiction.
