The world&rsquo\;s first buoyant tower was installed offshore Peru \;September, 2012 \;on BPZ Energy&rsqu o\;s Corvina field.The buoyant tower is HortonGMC&rsquo\;s proprietary des ign that is a fusion of proven technology from deepwater cell spars and co mpliant towers resulting in a bottom-founded structure suitable for water depths up to 300 meters. \; Because of the tower&rsquo\;s unique chara cteristics, it can be easily and quickly installed without the need for an expensive heavy crane vessel.
This presentation will run through t he development of the buoyant tower concept and the reasons why it was cho sen by BPZ for their Peruvian development. \; Because of the interest shown by the industry in this exciting new sub-structure, the basic design is being expanded to encompass new variants with oil storage and variable depth capability &mdash\; these will be described together with their pot ential application in the field. \; \;
