DYKE SWARMS AND THEIR ROLE IN THE GENESIS OF WORLD CLASS GOLD
Genesis drilling rig
Genesis lies in the Viosca Knoll Carbonate Trend. The field contains reserves of 160 million bbl. Following drilling, flow tests were conducted in which the field produced at rates of up to 8,300 barrels (bbl) per day. Production will peak at about 55,000bbl of oil and 72 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. . The engineering design and procurement was handled in two phases. The front-end engineering (FEE) included the preparation of installation plans, electrical lines, equipment arrangement and cost estimates. The detailed engineering phase included the deck’s. . Fabrication of the platform’s deck was carried out at McDermott’s Morgan City facility in Louisiana. Engineering was provided by McDermott Engineering Houston. The topsides have a deck surface area of about 100,000ft² (three 175ft x 175ft levels). . Genesis is being developed using a cylindrical steel spar, which supports both the drilling operations and production facilities. This makes it the world’s first drilling / production spar. Air-filled compartments on the upper portion of the cylinder provide. . The Genesis hull is 122ft in diameter and 705ft-tall. It was manufactured in two halves at Aker Rauma’s Pori yard, in Finland. The first half, weighing 10,842t was sailed to Corpus. [pdf]FAQS about Genesis drilling rig
What makes Genesis a good drilling / production spar?
Genesis is a good drilling / production spar because it is being developed using a cylindrical steel spar that supports both the drilling operations and production facilities. This makes it the world’s first drilling / production spar. Air-filled compartments on the upper portion of the cylinder provide buoyancy, while seawater-filled tanks on the bottom give weight and stability.

How much oil does Genesis produce a day?
The Genesis Oil Field produces up to 8,300 barrels (bbl) per day following drilling and flow tests. The peak production is expected to be about 55,000 bbl of oil and 72 million cubic feet of natural gas per day.
What is the water depth of the Genesis Hull?
The Genesis production facility is moored in water depth of 2,600ft. The Genesis spar platform hull was delivered in June 1998. The Genesis field is located 150 miles south of New Orleans, across the three Green Canyon blocks 160, 161 and 205. The water depth varies from 2,500ft to 3,000ft.
How were the Genesis topsides manufactured?
The Genesis topsides were manufactured as two units: the production deck and the drill / utility deck. Before loadout, the drill / utility deck was cut into two pieces (between truss rows one and two) for easier transportation. The Genesis hull is 122ft in diameter and 705ft-tall.
