Ursa is the largest TLP in the Gulf of Mexico having 98,000 tons displacement and is the deepest TLP in the world located in 3,800 feet-of-water MC Block 809. The URSA tendon and foundation design, fabrication and installation were built on the wealth of experinence of previously installed TLPs~(1, 2, 3, 11). In this paper, we fous on the new challenges that had to be met for this record setting project. Unique features of the Ursa Tendons, Foundation and Installation include: More tendons, 16 (4/corner) versus 12(3/corner); Larger tendons, 32"OD x 1.5" wall (compared to the previous 26" x 1.3 x 1.2" wal1) Longer Tendon Main Body Sections than the previous TLP's, resulting in 283.5' individual sections. This reduced the number of connections required and offshore handling time.
