ABS TEAM CLASSES NEW MATTERHORN TENSION LEG PLATFORM
|
 |
The TotalFinaElf E&P USA, Inc.-operated Matterhorn facility is an ABS-classed X
Floating Offshore Installation. A mono-column tension leg platform (TLP), the unit is the fourth Atlantia Offshore Ltd. SeaStar® TLP and the first of the Atlantia TLPs designed for dry-tree completions. The platform is scheduled for installation on Mississippi Canyon Block 243 in 2,835 feet of water this summer. The hull—measuring 84 feet in diameter and 125 feet tall—is a cylindrical column with three pontoons extending radially from the base and supporting six tendon connectors with a conventional four-legged open truss topsides structure.

Risers lead through a central 36-foot circular moonpool.
Designed for nine wells,
the Matterhorn TLP will have a peak production capacity
of 33,000 barrels of oil per
day and 55 million standard cubic feet of gas per day.
Equipped for a 6 million standard
cubic feet per day gas lift, the installation also will
handle 20,000 barrels of produced
water and 30,000 barrels of injection water per day. |
