In ultra-deep water beyond the traditional range of application of TLP technology, dry tree semisubmersibles (DTS) provide an attractive field development option by facilitating quayside hull-topside integration, hook-up and commissioning. This effectively eliminates project risk caused by dependence on deepwater heavy-lift construction equipment.
SBM Atlantia’s DTS concept is based on the FourStar hull concept and exhibits motion characteristics that allow the use of existing long-stroke tensioner technology to support the riser systems.
Dry tree semisubmersible systems have been configured for a wide range of payloads and applications worldwide and the designs have been validated by several wave basin model tests.
