The platform is moored in 5,310ft (1,620m) of water in Anadarko Petroleum’s Heidelberg field development in Green Canyon Blocks 859, 860,903, 904 and 948 in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Heidelberg spar will be moored by nine Series III Ballgrab ball and taper mooring connectors attached to polyester mooring lines.
The connector’s male mandrels are manufactured in compliance with American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) 2009 Approval for specialist subsea mooring connectors.
The Heidelberg field is located close to Anadarko’s 100% owned Constitution spar, also moored using First Subsea mooring connectors in 2005.
First Subsea managing director John Shaw said, "This is our tenth spar mooring project for Technip."
"The speed and ease of the Ballgrab connection is well proven in a range of industry-leading, deepwater projects in the Gulf of Mexico," Shaw added.
