MOSES Self Stable Integrated Platform (SSIP) Tension Leg Platform (TLP)

The MOSES Self Stable Integrated Platform (SSIP) is a Tension Leg Platform (TLP) that has inherent stability that allows quayside integration and commissioning of the topsides to the hull structure, wet towing of the integrated platform to the installation site, and eliminates the need for expensive temporary buoyancy or craned assisted installation assistance. The hull configuration is comprised of a central base structure, four Tendon Support Structures (TSS) and four vertical columns. The base and TSS structures are located deep below the surface and provide a significant portion of the platform’s buoyancy. Each TSS is a rectangular pontoon structure. The columns are located further outboard, smaller than conventional TLP columns, and are rectangular in shape. A total of eight tendons are supported at the end of the TSS (two at each end) via top connectors on a porch arrangement. The tendons are connected at the sea bottom on piles via bottom connectors. The MOSES SSIP TLP can support a variety of drilling or workover rigs and a large number of Top Tension Risers (TTR’s) and flowline risers. The MOSES SSIP TLP can be used with wet and/or dry trees in harsh and mild environments.
