    ABSTRACT

    The offshore oil and gas industry is focused on oil and gas recovery from beneath the seabed

    to meet the global energy demand. Tension Leg Platform is one of the four major platform types,

    that is anchored to the seafloor. TLP is commonly planned to serve several efficient roles together

    with offshore oil and gas usage. It is mostly utilized for deep-water applications. However, the

    lack of scientific papers discussing TLP is evident. This paper summarized available information

    and guidance for the floating offshore platform design of the Tension Leg Platform (TLP) system.

    The prominences in this paper were on the design of the TLP as a platform, particularly with regard

    to its sizing, proportions, tendon arrangement, and the integration of many diverse, important

    design aspects. The ultimate goal is to deliver the most cost-effective, safe, and dependable

    platform for satisfying functional needs.
