TLP

While recuperating from an injury, I scoured the internet for info. on TLPs at the behest of a colleague — anything to distract myself from the pain. By Friday, I was able to assemble a list. Here’s a summary.¹

It is interesting to note that the largest TLPs, viz., Snorre A and Heidrun are both owned by Statoil. In terms of weights and displacements, these two are literally off the chart when compared with the rest — an incredible feat.
