A joint industry project (JIT) plans to employ coiled tubing (CT) from the deck of a vessel to deploy and install anchor points for mobile offshore drilling units requiring deepwater moorings. CT offers significant advantages for installation of anchor points. It provides the means for deploying anchors to considerable depths in the seabed, as appropriate to provide the necessary retainment force. CT technology offers pin point accuracy with reference to the mooring pattern center, rapid and accurate anchorage deployment to significant depths into the seafloor, very high ratio of pull-out force to weight of anchor equipment, and reduced difficulties in transportation and handling and therefore increased safety for anchor personnel.
