A tension-leg platform (TLP) or extended tension leg platform (ETLP) is a vertically moored floating structure normally used for the offshore production of oil or gas, and is particularly suited for water depths greater than 300 metres (about 1000 …

Tension Leg Platforms (TLPs) are bottom founded floating structures which are moored at the seabed by steel tethers connected to driven piles. Under the action of wind, waves and current a TLP moves like an "inverted pendulum" with negligible heave, pitch and roll motions and maintains a near constant distance between the platform and seabed.

A TLP is a floating structure configured similar to a semi-submersible, but with hollow tubular pipes called tendons that connect it to the sea floor. These tendons hold the platform in place but allow it to move hundreds of feet sideways.

2021年1月1日 · The tension leg platform (TLP) is a vertically linked non-sinkable structural device that generates tension in the anchoring system due to the buoyancy of the platform....

1996年5月31日 · TLP technology can preserve many of the operational advantages of a fixed-base platform while reducing investment in water depths to 5,000 ft. and beyond. Existing TLPs have been built to support drilling rigs or completion units which are appropriate for larger discoveries, but this requirement can increase cost and complexity to uneconomic ...

2022年8月25日 · A tension-leg platform (TLP) or an extended tension leg platform is a vertically anchored floating structure that is often utilized for offshore oil or gas production in water depths greater than 300 meters (about 1000 feet) but less than 1500 meters (about 4900 ft).

A Tension Leg Platform (TLP) is a type of offshore oil and gas installation that is distinguished by its unique tension leg monitoring, tensioning, and ballasting system, which ensures the safety and stability of the platform.

2011年7月7日 · A Tension Leg Platform (TLP) is a buoyant platform held in place by a mooring system. The TLP's are similar to conventional fixed platforms except that the platform is...

2001年11月30日 · Two of these rigs with new kits are working in the Gulf of Mexico, one for Conoco on the Jolliet tension leg well platform (TLWP) in 1,760 ft water depths on Green Canyon 184, and the other for El Paso Production on its Modec-designed Prince mini-TLP. Both rigs are working triples on the two deepwater platforms.

2020年5月4日 · The focus for this paper is on the Tension Leg Platform (TLP), one of the four major platform types that include the Floating Production Storage and Offloading platform (FPSO), the semisubmersible floating production system (Semi) and the Spar platform.
