More About This Project

Subsea Template

The Subsea Template contract for Conoco was first of a number of structures to built on the Yard for the Hutton Development. The 36 slot Template was fabricated, loaded out and installed in May 1981 to enable the pre-drilling of production wells prior to the installation of the TLP platform in 1984.
