ABSTRACT:
A production platform for offshore exploitation of hydrocarbons comprises a truss tower (1) which rests on the sea floor (2) and supports a deck structure (3) provided with a drilling module (5). In order to obtain optimum mutual distance between production pipes (10) at the deck level, the skid beams (6) of the drilling module are arranged parallel to a diagonal (9) in the cross-section of the truss tower. Weight savings in the truss tower (1) may be obtained by arranging the deck structure (3) with its sides parallel to the diagonals (9) of the truss tower (1).
