  • Platform for controlled containment of hydrocarbons
    Patent number: 9506211

The concept comprises a support structure (10) and a deck structure (14) positioned on top of the support structure (10), from where drilling may be performed, and where possible spillage of hydrocarbons from the drilling or production activities, in case of failure of the conventional barriers, will be contained and directed in a controlled manner to collecting storage tanks (46) integrated in the support structure (10).
