Chevron is investigating the causes of a tendon buoyancy failure at its Big Foot tension-leg platform in the Gulf of Mexico.
The project now appears likely to face a considerable delay from planned first oil at the end of this year.
Probable contractors set to play a role in the process will be Floatec, which designed the proprietary extended TLP concept, with associated foundation piles, tendon mooring systems and top tensioned risers.
