Conductor spacing on a platform.

21 March 2016

During a Platform well design review, questions were raised with regards to the planned conductor spacing. Although the current spacing (5.7ft) between the conductors is adequate for both the wellhead and the X'mas tree installation, there is no clear detail on what the spacing was based on as we have lost a lot of key personnel.

Does anyone know of any industry standard that gives a clear definition of what the minimum spacing between conductors on an offshore platform should be?
