Drilling on artifical islands
How they walk
in order to understand the loads you need to understand how it moves from well to well. This is a video showing how the proprietary walking system works, it is very different to what many people assume.
Shallow Water Production (Mini Island) Platforms (6-20m water depth)
Artificial Islands have limitations
12m is the realistic maximum depth of water for building an island, after that the amount of materials, time to main construction starting becomes too long. Directional drilling and the use of the simple concrete gravity structures sitting on the seabed offers a fast and viable solution for 30 or so production and and injection wells.
Different Depths of water are accommodated by modifying the depth of the rock foundation.
