TLP Design, Fabrication and Installation for GOM vs. South China Sea

Based on the need of the oil and gas market in having access to the reservoirs because of the world increment in the oil and gas demand and having much less easy access oil in onshore area, the oil companies have been forced to go to the offshore resources for more explorations. By passing decades from the beginning of offshore industry and depletion of reservoir in shallow waters, the companies need in going to deep water and chasing the oil in deep sea for achieving the hard access oil is emerged. Utilizing the floating structures in very deep sea water is only solution for this challenge. Among different type of floating structures, In this research we wanted to Compare, Contrast and Discuss the Design, Fabrication and Installation issues and consideration in Tension Leg Platform(TLP) structure in two different area of Golf of Mexico (Gom) and South China Sea
