This paper reports on a drilling template for BP Exploration Inc.'s Pompano field set to within 0.015[degrees] of level in Viosca Knoll Block 989 offshore Louisiana. The 280-slot, 285-ton template was installed in 1,290 ft of water. The typical tolerance for a template setting is [plus minus]0.25[degrees] of level. This accuracy ensures that the docking piles will function properly when the jacket is installed and prevents problems with misalignment of drilling and tieback equipment.
