Magnolia Tension-leg Platform
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Magnolia Tension-leg Platform is an offshore oil drilling and production tension-leg platform in the Gulf of Mexico. It is the world's deepest TLP, reaching 1,432m, beating the Marco Polo TLP by 120m.[1]
The hull consists of four circular columns connected at the bottom by rectangular pontoons. At the base of each column, a pontoon extends outward to support two tethers, which are connected to pile foundations on the seabed. The design capacity is an estimated daily production of 50,000 barrels of oil and 150 million standard cubic feet of natural gas. [2]
The Magnolia field is located approximately 180 miles south of Cameron, Louisiana, in Garden Banks blocks 783 and 784 in the Gulf of Mexico. It is located along the southern edge of the Titan Mini-Basin where multiple deep-water reservoir sands encounter a series of down-to-the-basin and antithetic faults adjacent to salt. [3]
