ABSTRACT:
An offshore well is stabilized by at least three cables connected on one end to hydraulically powered cable tensions on the well casing at a location substantially below the surface of the body of water in which the well is located and on an opposite end to a respective anchor pile on the bottom body of water. The cables are equally tensioned by the hydraulically powered cylinder and are subsequently retained in taut condition by mechanical retainers.
