ABSTRACT:
A compliant offshore drilling and producing structure is disclosed. Axial piles extend from the sea floor above the water's surface and are enveloped by sleeves extending downwardly from a rigid platform. Buoyant chambers attached to the sleeves provide an upward buoyant force in excess of the weight of the platform and sleeves. This excess upward force is counterbalanced by the axial piles through hydraulic means.
