Bullwinkle (oil platform)

Bullwinkle was a 1,736 feet (529 m)[1] tall, pile-supported fixed steel oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico.

It is located in Green Canyon Block 65, approximately 160 miles (260 km) southwest of New Orleans.

[3][4] The jacket, i.e. the mainly submerged part of the platform, was built by Gulf Marine Fabricators in 1985–1988 at the North Yard location in Ingleside, Texas, at the intersection of the Corpus Christi Ship Channel and the Intracoastal Waterway in Port Aransas, east of Corpus Christi.

[6] The jacket, which is some 1,400 feet tall, is the second tallest object ever to be moved to another position (relative to the surface of the Earth), after the Troll A platform.

In 2010, Superior Energy Services took ownership of the platform and planned to decommission it at the end of its economic life.
