Typhoon SeaStar® TLP
The Typhoon SeaStar® TLP established production 37 days ahead of schedule and more than five months ahead of the industry average for similar projects, thus achieving a “pacesetter” status within Chevron. Following damage incurred during Hurricane Rita in September 2005, the Typhoon TLP was redeployed as a reef in shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico. SBM Atlantia’s scope of work was EPCi.
