The Platforms data set identifies offshore oil and gas facilities for fixed and floating installations that are employed in the production development of an offshore oil and gas field. The oil and gas platforms range from the massive gravity based structures and the large West African FPSO facilities down to the small 10 tonne caissons in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico. For fixed platforms the data set includes; caissons, conductor supported, compliant tower (CPT), gravity based, guyed, jack-up, piled skirt plate and suction pile. For floating facilities these include; buoyed shaped, mobile, semi-submersible, ship-shaped (FPSO), spar and TLP (tension leg platform).
The earliest platform entry is Ship Shoal 32 which was installed in the Gulf of Mexico in September 1947, which has been followed by over 15,000 platform installations. As well as listing operational and future facilities the platform data set also lists those facilities that have now been decommissioned or redeployed, so this data set provides a complete history of activity since September 1947.
The following information is provided about each project;
