a floating production unit anchored to the seabed by taut vertical cables, which considerably restrict its heave motion, making it possible to have the wellheads on the platform.
(Tension-Leg Platform) – an offshore drilling platform attached to the seafloor with tensioned steel tubes. The buoyancy of the platform applies tension to the tubes.
Tension leg platform. Fixed-type floating platform held in position by a system of tendons and anchored to ballast caissons located on the seabed. These platforms are used in ultra-deep waters.
