Abstract

See full text

A method is described for conducting well operations from a floating platform that may be moved to various locations above subterranean formations. Marine risers that have been previously connected to the platform flex sufficiently to allow this movement. The mobility of the platform allows well drilling, completion, producing, and workover activities to be conducted simultaneously through the risers attached to the platform. The mobility of the platform also allows new wells to be drilled at more preferable locations than those that would be available from a fixed bottom supported well template.
