Conductor Supported Platforms

Marginal shallow-water developments have led to a growing demand for cost efficient wellhead platforms, which enable increased production capacity within existing field infrastructure.
Wellhead platforms, or minimum facilities platforms (MFPs), typically house the surface wellheads, trees, and manifolds, but do not include extensive process or separation facilities.

Conductors
• The conductors provide structural support to the topsides through axial compression and bending resistance, and support the well casings, wellhead, and surface tree.
• The total conductor length is defined by the water depth at the platform, the topsides elevation, and the foundation piling depth.
• The typical diameter of the conductor used to support the platform is 30” or 36”, with thicknesses ranging from 1” to 2” maximum.

High fatigue snap-together Mechanical connectors are increasingly being use for the conductor supported platforms.
