Devils Tower

Devils Tower is a deepwater spar production platform in the Gulf of Mexico, installed in 2004. It produces oil and gas and serves as a host for subsea tie-backs, with a truss spar design providing stability in deepwater conditions. The facility is connected to export pipelines for hydrocarbon transport.

Production: Oil & Gas

Operations start: 2004

Water depth: 1710 m

Country: USA - New Orleans District

Block: MISSISSIPPI CANYON 60. Block 773

Type: Spar

Field

The Devils Tower field is located in Mississippi Canyon, Gulf of Mexico, producing from Miocene turbidite sandstone reservoirs. The field is moderate in scale and part of a cluster of developments in the area, with additional subsea tie-backs integrated into the host facility over time.

Facilities

Devils Tower utilises a truss spar platform supporting both dry-tree wells and subsea tie-backs. Production wells are drilled from the spar and supplemented by subsea wells tied in via manifolds and flowlines. Fluids are transported through risers to topside facilities where separation into oil, gas, and water occurs. Oil is stabilised and exported via pipeline, while gas is compressed and routed through offshore networks. Produced water is treated and discharged or reinjected. The platform includes water injection systems for reservoir support. Subsea infrastructure includes flowlines, risers, and umbilicals for control and chemical injection. Power generation is provided by gas turbines. The truss spar configuration provides deep-draft stability and supports vertical risers, enabling efficient handling of multiple production streams. The facility is designed to accommodate additional tie-backs, functioning as a regional processing hub.
