AMERICAN MULTI-WELL PLATFORM FOR HOSTILE AREAS

A totally new type of production platform in steel, described as a multi-well oil production platform for hostile offshore environment, is featured here. Recently introduced by Bethlehem Steel Corp., the platform is of the mat-supported, jack-up, gravity type. Once installed, the platform is almost immediately ready to go into operation. The entire structure is made of steel, thereby reducing the weight and permitting use on much poorer soils.
