Abstract
Summary The Hutton field, discovered in 1973, is located in U.K. Block 211/28 about 275 miles [440 km] off the Shetland Islands in 485 ft [148 m] of water. The 1979 decision to proceed with field development was significant because the structure selected would become the world's first commercial tension-leg platform (TLP). This operational review covers the predrilling and completion of the first 10 wells from a semisubmersible drilling rig, their subsequent tieback to the TLP, and the startup activity from an integrated-deck philosophy with production operations from a platform with moving trees, flexible flowlines, and production riser tensioners.
