Abstract
An improved platform for performing subaqueous operations in ice conditions. A substructure on the platform supports the equipment for performing the subaqueous operation and straddles an aperture through the platform. Means are secured to the underside of the substructure for presenting a relatively low coefficient of friction or low lateral resistance between the underside of the substructure and the face of the platform. Locomotion means are associated with substructure for moving the substructure laterally over the face of the platform relative to the aperture whereby the equipment for performing the subaqueous operations may remain over the wellhead in spite of certain magnitudes of lateral movement of the platform responsive to the ice conditions.
