ABSTRACT:
An offshore production platform includes one or more decks supported above the water surface for accommodating equipment to process oil, gas, and water recovered from subsea hydrocarbon formations. The decks are supported on four surface piercing columns which are mounted on a support platform substructure, secured to the seabed by tubular piles driven below the mudline through skirt pile sleeves located at the respective corners of the substructure and connected to the substructure by grouting or mechanical means. The base of the platform includes an open framework permitting the platform to be placed over a well template, through which one or more wells may be drilled.
