Design studies plus a three-year, large-scale, offshore model test have demonstrated the applicability of a guyed tower as a deepwater drilling and production platform. This paper describes the basic guyed tower concept and presents key results obtained from the field test. The main features about the design, fabrication, and installation of a fullscale guyed tower drilling and producing platform in 350 meters of water are discussed. (Jensen)
