ABSTRACT:
A multi-well hydrocarbon development system is economically established and operated by drilling cluster wells through the piles securing the base structure which supports a semisubmersible tension leg buoy through a single leg assembly. The buoy includes a turntable with skid beams on which a drilling rig is slidably mounted so that the rig can be positioned over the piles and cluster wells can be drilled through the piles. Produced fluids are transported into a containment means for separation and storage within the buoy. A captive processing vessel may be moored to the buoy and a means is provided to dispose processed water and/or gas responsibly.
