Installation of STAR platform

During late Summer 1990, Maersk Oil and Gas A/S installed the first slim tripod adapted for rig (STAR) satellite platform in Dagmar field in the North Sea by means of a jackup rig. This installation successfully completed the STAR project, and this paper describes the planning and actual installations of the Dagmar satellite platform, a concept that is fully applicable worldwide where at small wellhead platform is needed in shallow water and where crane barges are not readily available.
