Title: Marco Polo Tension Leg Platform: Deepwater Completion Performance.
Authors: Burman, Jack1, Renfro, Kevin2, Conrad, Mark2
Source: SPE Drilling & Completion. Sep2007, Vol. 22 Issue 3, p258-270. 13p. 1 Color Photograph, 1 Graph.
Subjects: Underwater drilling, Tension leg platforms, Offshore structures, Semi-submersible offshore structures, Hydraulic engineering, Drilling platforms, Drilling & boring, Prospecting
Geographic Terms: Gulf of Mexico
Abstract: The article focuses on how the implementation of the Marco Polo Deepwater Tension Leg Platform project in Green Canyon, Gulf of Mexico challenges of completing 17 zones in six deepwater dry-tree wells with a 1000-hp rig were met. It then highlights a number of concepts and "technical firsts" that can be applied to other deepwater-development projects. According to the authors, novel well completion techniques and exceptional field execution allowed the project to be accomplished significantly ahead of schedule. They notes that all six wells were placed on production in approximately 168 days.
