PLATFORM NAME

Indicates the name of the platform. Will include the name of the field as well as information such as FPSO, FPS, Barge, TLP, SPAR etc.

PRODUCT

• OIL
  
• GAS/CONDENSATE
  
• LPG Liquefied petroleum gas
• GAS Natural gas such as methane
• OIL/CONDENSATE
  
• METHANOL Produced offshore from gas production
• CONDENSATE Light hydrocarbons gaseous at normal temperatures but capable of liquefying under temperature/ pressure changes. Generally consisting of Propane, Butane etc.
• OIL/GAS/ CONDENSATE
• GAS/LPG
• LNG Liquefied natural gas
• OIL/GAS
• NITROGEN Gas for injection
  
• SULPHUR
• NGL Natural gas liquids
  
• OIL/GAS/LPG
  
• WATER for injection

LOCATION

For platforms in the Gulf Of Mexico and the North Sea this is the block number, elsewhere the longitude and latitude down to the nearest minute.

DATE/YEAR INSTALLED

Date of installation of jacket or hull at field location. For future developments this can alter frequently as plans are changed.

DATE/YEAR REMOVED

This is the currently expected date for the removal of the facility. Note improvements in recovery technology will affect this, as will variations in the price of oil and changes in required decommissioning provisions.

PLATFORM TYPE

• SEMI-SUBMERSIBLE: A floating production facility
• GUYED: A piled platform with additional tethers
• JACK-UP: A mobile drilling rig currently being used in a production capacity
• PILED: A single jacket
  
• COMPLIANT TOWER: (CPT) Deepwater piled platform built in two sections
• TLP: Tension Leg platform
• GRAVITY: Large platform held in place by ballast rather than piled into the seabed
• MOBILE: Special purpose ship-shaped platform that can move from field to field
  
• CAISSON: Simple cylindrical steel platform.
• SHIP-SHAPED: Ship-shaped platform such as a FPSO, FSO
• SKIRT PLATE: Jacket held to the seabed by suction
  
• SPAR: Deep draft caisson vessel

TYPE:

• FLOATING: TLP's, spars, Ship-shaped, mobile, semi-submersibles
• FIXED: Piled, gravity, guyed, jack-up, CPT, caisson, skirt plate, gravity

PILES (NUMBER)

The number of piles anchoring the facility to the seabed

CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL

• STEEL:
  
• STEEL/CONCRETE: Steel jacket on a concrete base or a platform of mixed construction for harsh environments
• CONCRETE:
  
• GRAVEL: Artificial island, such as in the Arctic
• ALUMINIUM:

STATUS

Different statuses across related files on any one project reflect the stages that the different components of the project have reached. For instance a field could have a firm plan status to develop the project. However, the exact timing of the installation
and the weights of the platform may not yet have been determined exactly nor the yard where construction is to take place. Once this information is announced, the relevant statuses are updated accordingly, for instance in this case when the PDO (development plan) has been approved.

• OPERATIONAL: Platform is operating in its designed function.
  
• INSTALLED: Platform is on site but not yet functioning
  
• UNDER CONSTRUCTION: Platform is under construction but not yet in place.
  
• UNDER CONVERSION: Platform is currently being converted from a previous function.
  
• FIRM PLAN: Facility is part of a development concept for a field where the development plan (PDO) has been submitted to the relevant authority.
  
• PROBABLE: Facility is part of a favoured development concept for a field at development planning stage at company level.
  
• POSSIBLE: Unit is part of favoured development concept for field at very early stage of evaluation.
  
• REMOVED: Production completed, platform removed
  
• ABANDONED: Production completed, platform not yet removed.
  
• DESTROYED/LOST + DAMAGED: Platform not producing due to damage sustained
  
• SHUT IN: Platform at field location but production is shut-in at present.
  
• DEFERRED: Cancelled project.
  
• ALTERNATIVE PLAN: Possible other platform under consideration
  
• REFURBISHMENT: An old platform removed and repaired for re-installation.

WATER DEPTH (M.S.W)

The average water depth in which the platform sits.

FUNCTION

• ACC: ACCOMMODATION
  
• BOO: BOOSTER
  
• DRIL: DRILLING
  
• FL: FLARE
• INJ: INJECTION
• PROD: PRODUCTION
  
• RISER
• SEP: SEPARATION
• STOR: STORAGE
  
• TERM: TERMINAL
• WHD: WELLHEAD

WELLS

The number of well slots available on the platform

• PRODUCTION: number of slots used for production wells
  
• INJECTION: number of slots used for injection wells - water or gas
  
• SLOTS: total number of slots available

JACKET WEIGHT (TONNES)

For fixed platforms this is the weight of the jacket, excluding the piles.

For a ship-shaped facility this the weight of the hull.

TOPSIDE WEIGHT (TONNES)

The weight of the platform topsides, including the decks, modules (e.g. drilling rigs if applicable). Please note that this is the dry weight as built. It does not include the weight of oil, drilling fluids, etc. It is not the operational topside weight, which for a large platform may be several thousand tonnes of additional weight.

E indicates that this weight is an estimate

TOTAL WEIGHT (TONNES)

For fixed platforms this includes the jacket, piles, topsides, anodes and the conductors.

For semi-submeribles this is the displacement weight. For ship-shaped facilities this is the dead weight tonnage (DWT).

For all weights these are in Metric Tonnes.

EVACUATION

Indicates the main anticipated method for evacuating the facility when required

• HELO: Helicopter via landing pad on deck of facility
• BRIDGE: Evacuation via bridge to another platform in field complex
  
• BOAT: Access via boats at sea level

MANNED

• YES Shows a platform is normally manned for more than 12 hours each day.
  
• NO Not normally manned
