Baldpate (oil platform)

Baldpate is a 579.7 metres (1,902 ft)[1] offshore compliant tower oil platform near the coast of Louisiana, owned and operated by Hess Corporation.

The platform was built in multiple sections which were assembled together later when the structure arrived at its final location.

The main legs of the structure have a diameter of 12 feet at their widest with a steel thickness of 3.5 inches.

At the corner of each side the structure is supported by steel piles which reach a depth of 430 feet.

[3] This section has a length and width of 90 feet across which remains constant from the bottom to the top of the frame.
