Overview
We have installed more platforms with drilling rigs than any other company worldwide, a proven track record operators can trust.
Offshore oil and gas projects are under constant pressure to deliver faster, leaner, and more cost-effective solutions. For light-weight minimal facilities platforms, traditional installation methods typically rely on mobilising large heavy lift assets such as crane barges or derrick lay vessels. This approach often drives up costs, increases logistical complexity, and introduces additional schedule risks.
Sub-Services
We provide feasibility studies and concept development services to support the early definition of minimal facilities wellhead platforms. ICON works with operators to assess development options, identify constraints and define practical concepts that are aligned with drilling, installation and long-term operational requirements.
We provide FEED and detailed engineering services to progress wellhead platform concepts for early investment decision-making. ICON works with operators to develop robust engineering solutions that address structural, foundation, and installation requirements for wellhead platforms.
We provide substructure & foundation engineering services to support the design and delivery of wellhead platforms. ICON works with operators to develop sufoundation solutions that are suited to site-specific seabed and loading conditions.

FAQs
We support a range of wellhead platform solutions, including minimal facilities platforms, rig installed platforms, annex platforms, self-installing platforms and MOPU-based concepts. The right solution depends on field conditions, drilling strategy, infrastructure constraints and installation methodology.
We support wellhead platform projects from early studies and FEED through to detailed engineering, transport and installation execution. That continuity helps reduce interfaces and keeps engineering aligned with how the platform will actually be delivered offshore.
We assess field conditions, drilling requirements, installation constraints, infrastructure interfaces and project economics to help identify the most suitable concept. Our approach is shaped by constructability and offshore execution from the outset.
We focus on practical, installation-led engineering. By considering fabrication, transport, rig interfaces and offshore execution early, we help reduce rework, simplify delivery and improve confidence in cost and schedule.
Our offshore services are designed to meet the unique challenges of the industry. We provide reliable, efficient, and innovative solutions that ensure project success.
