Ram Powell lies in the Viosca Knoll area in the Gulf of Mexico, approximately 125 miles south-east of New Orleans and around 80 miles south of Mobile, Alabama, in water depths ranging from 2,000 ft to 4,000 ft.
Completely assembled, the Ram Powell TLP is 3,570 ft-high from the seafloor to the crown block of the drilling rig.
The TLP is secured by 12 tendons, three per corner, each with a diameter of 28 inch and a wall thickness of 1.2 inch. Each tendon is approximately 3,145 ft-long and the total weight for the 12 tendons is approximately 10,000 t.
Estimated ultimate recovery from the development is about 250 million barrels of oil equivalent.
