ARTICULATED LOADING PLATFORM (ALP)

A summary is presented of the design, model tests and installation of the so-called articulated loading platform (ALP) which has been in use for some time on Mobil's Beryl oil field, and its larger version which is to be used during the initial phase on the Stratfjord Field on the Norwegian continental shelf. These structures show that offshore oil fields can be exploited by conventional equipment installed on fixed platforms with loading and flaring through articulated columns.
