SINGLE POINT ANCHOR RESERVOIR (SPAR)

A Single Point Anchor Reservoir (SPAR) platform is a type of offshore drilling and production platform used in the oil and gas industry. SPAR platforms are designed to operate in deep waters, often exceeding depths of 3,000 feet (900 meters). Unlike fixed platforms like jacket structures, SPAR platforms are floating structures that are moored to the seabed using a combination of anchors and mooring lines. SPAR platforms consist of a cylindrical hull that provides buoyancy. The hull extends deep into the water, reducing the impact of waves and ensuring stability.
