Abstract
The Maari DrillACE Well Head Platform (WHP) was installed offshore New Zealand during the second quarter of 2008 for the designated operator OMV New Zealand Ltd. The platform was engineered and designed by Arup and Clough. Clough was responsible for engineering, procurement, construction and installation activities on the project, with Arup undertaking the design of the primary steel structure, including the plated base, deck and tubular jacket. The Maari WHP was the third ACE platform and the second DrillACE platform to be installed. This paper considers a number of the unique features of the structural design of the Maari DrillACE platform that were encountered during this project as well as providing a background on the ACE platform concept.
