Devil's Tower (oil platform)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Devil's Tower is a deep-water oil and gas production Spar oil platform located in the Gulf of Mexico and named after Devil's Tower National Monument.

Devil's Tower is located in block 773 of the Mississippi Canyon region of the Gulf of Mexico. It is currently the record holder for being located in the deepest water for a production truss spar. It was originally built for and operated by Dominion Exploration which sold its Gulf of Mexico holdings to Eni which now operates the platform.

The facility was built by J. Ray McDermott and is located 5,610 feet above the seabed.
