Thunder Horse雷马半潜式钻井平台距离新奥尔良东南200公里的墨西哥湾，在雷马油田上方1800米的水域，它将开采储量为10至30亿桶的油田。钻井平台长156米，宽114米，高132米，排水量13万吨。它将每天开采25万桶石油和2亿立方英尺天然气。
Thunder Horse is the largest moored semi-submersible oil platform in the world, located in 1,920 metres (6,300 ft) of water in the Mississippi Canyon Block 778/822, Thunder Horse oilfield, about 150 miles (241 km) southeast of New Orleans, Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico.
Construction costs were around one billion USD.[1] The facility is expected to operate for 25 years, producing about one billion barrels of oil. At its peak, it is expected to process 200 million cubic feet of natural gas and 250,000 barrels of oil per day.[2] The Thunder Horse platform is owned by BP (75%) and ExxonMobil (25%) and operated by BP.
The Hull section was constructed by DSME in South Korea, Thunder Horse was delivered in 2004 to Corpus Christi, Texas aboard MV Blue Marlin for completion.[3]
In July 2005, Thunder Horse was evacuated in the face of Hurricane Dennis. After the hurricane passed, the platform was listing badly. Inspection teams found no hull damage — Thunder Horse had not taken on water from a leak through its hull. Rather, an incorrectly plumbed, 6-inch length of pipe had allowed water to flow freely among several ballast tanks. That began a chain of events that caused the platform to tip into the drink.[4] The event boosted world oil prices because of speculation of further oil shortages. The platform was fully righted about a week after Hurricane Dennis, but BP announced that commercial production had been delayed. [5] The platform was struck almost directly by Hurricane Katrina six weeks later, but was not heavily damaged. |
