A marine platform provides a plurality of buoys, a platform having a peripheral portion that includes a plurality of attachment positions, one attachment position for each buoy, and an articulating connection that connects each buoy to the platform at a respective attachment position, the connection allowing for sea state induced buoy motions while minimizing effect on the platform.

1. A marine platform, comprising:a) a plurality of individual buoys; b) a platform structure having an oil and gas well, producing facility and a peripheral portion that includes a plurality of connecting positions one connecting position for each bouy; c) a plurality of articulating connections, including a different articulating connection connecting each buoy to the platform at a respective connecting position, each articulating connection allowing for buoy motions induced by sea movement between a buoy and the platform structure while reducing sea movement effect on the platform; and wherein the separate articulating connections enable movement of each one of the buoys relative to the platform structure so that axial and tangential forces between the platform and each buoy is transmitted, while transfer of bending movement is reduced or minimized.
