MARIN’s 9,000th Test Model
World’s Deepest TLP
Earlier this year, the world deepest TLP (5,187 ft) was tested at MARIN for Chevron U.S.A. Inc. and FloaTEC. The ‘Big Foot’ TLP represents MARIN’s 9,000th test model since the maritime research institute opened in 1932.
Extended Tension Leg Platform (ETLP), designed by FloaTEC, will be located at the ‘Big Foot’ Field development at the Walker Ridge Block 29 in the Gulf of Mexico. The platform will be a local host with Dry Trees and the associated
Top Tensioned Risers (TTRs), with full drilling, workover and sidetrack capability on the topsides. Chevron is the operator of Big Foot and the co-owners are Statoil USA E&P and Marubeni Oil & Gas (USA) Inc. (Source: MARIN)
