Mars is a permanent offshore drilling and production tension-leg oil platform (TLP) operating in Mississippi Canyon blocks 762, 763, 806, 807, 850 and 851 in the Gulf of Mexico and was approved by the MMS in December 1992 with production beginning on July 8, 1996. [1]

2021年3月26日 · Mars’ TLP is 3,250ft-high from the seafloor to the crown block of the drilling rig, and its steel weight is approximately 36,500t. The TLP was designed to withstand hurricane force waves of 71ft and winds of 140mph, simultaneously.

1997年5月5日 · The Mars Project is a $1.0 billion investment in a record breaking water depth of 2940 ft. in the Gulf of Mexico. As Shell's second Tension Leg Platform (ILP), it incorporates lessons learned from designing, constructing, and operatingShell's first TLP Project, Auger.

1997年5月5日 · This paper focuses on the experience gained during the development and use of the novel aspects of the integration and installation of the MARS TLP project. These include:- The use of a Specialized Lifting Device [SLD] to place the MARS TLP topsides on the hull at lngleside, Texas. The design, construction and operation of the SLD are described.

1997年5月5日 · The Mars riser systems are a major departure from those previously used on TLPs. All risers are operated with top tensions only 20% above their wet weight; the high-pressure, light-weight drilling riser has a secondary pressure barrier while drilling the majority of the well; a platform-style rig is used and all risers incorporate vortex ...
