Concept

The modular rig comprises three optional elements for maximum  flexibility and operator choice:

Basic Rig
Weight  : approx 430 T
Footprint : 6m x 12m
Pull  : 400 sT

Active Mud System
Weight  : approx 250 T
Footprint : 7,2m x12m
Capacity : 660 bbls

Power Generation System
Weight  : approx 250 T
Footprint : depending of rig-up/layout
Capacity : 3 x 1.2 MW

Key features & benefits

Operational

• Rig-up/down in 14 days
• All modules can be stripped to max lift weight of 11 ton
• Good slot access owing to small footprint
• Mud system can be rigged up on either side of the rig ("mirrored")
• Max pulling capacity of 400 sT
• Push (snubbing) capacity of 100 sT
• Rack and pinion drive
• Run all tubulars (2 3/8" - 20") using the same machine (Unitong)
• Operates Range III drillpipe
• Low POB (8 + 8)
• Remote operated/automated pipe handling systems
• CCTV system (10 cameras)
• All drilling data can be transferred in real-time via the web
• Vibration monitoring of all larger motor bearings
• Meets UK and Norwegian Shelf Regulations (Norsok Standards

HSE

• No manriding operations required
• Design reduces equipment aloft , so less potential for dropped objects
• High level of automation/remotely operated equipment enables unmanned drill floor in normal drilling
• Bolting operations during rig-up/down reduced to a minimum by extensive use of quick-connectors
• CCTV system (10 cameras in critical areas)
• No use of scaffolding during rig-up/down
• No additional rig-up for casing running needed
• Closed drain system
