Abstract
Shallow geologic and soil conditions on the continental slope (water depths about 600-10,000ft) can be complex. These conditions include; steep slopes, rugged topography, landslides active faults, gas hydrates, seafloor erosion, and complex soil conditions. Because of these complex conditions, site investigations for siting and design of deep water production structures should include not only analysis of soil borings, but also analysis of high-resolution geophysical, geological, and oceanographic data. These diverse types of data need to be carefully combined and considered together to understand site conditions. This integrated approach helps to optimise siting of production facilities and results in the most economical foundation design.
