Abstract
A tension leg well jacket ('TLWJ') is disclosed which is configured to receive well operations support from an offshore drilling vessel docked thereto and to receive the production riser in transfer operations from the vessel to the TLWJ. This permits a minimal platform suitable for supporting production risers which is particularly useful in deep water applications.
