A Tension Leg Platform (TLP) is a type of offshore oil and gas drilling structure that is anchored to the seabed using vertical tendons. These tendons are kept taut, which allows the platform to remain stable in deep water, even in rough sea conditions. TLPs are designed to minimize the movement caused by waves and currents, making them suitable for deepwater drilling. TLPs are typically used in water depths ranging from 1,500 to 7,000 feet. They can support drilling and production operations, providing a stable base for equipment and personnel. The design of TLPs allows for efficient extraction of resources from beneath the ocean floor while reducing environmental impact.
