Rig Partner is supporting Vår Energi in preparing the Transocean Barents for its upcoming long-term drilling campaign, involving complex deepwater drilling operations, High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) and Extended Reach Drilling (ERD).
Our scope includes operational readiness assessments, facilitation of Joint Risk Assessments (JRA), technical and operational gap assessments, and coordination and follow-up of critical readiness activities.
Key focus areas include:
- Deepwater drilling readiness and associated operational challenges.
- HPHT and ERD preparations, including procedures, equipment and operational requirements.
- Integration of advanced drilling technologies, including Controlled Mud Level (CML), RMR/CTS and wired drill pipe.
- Thermal Treatment Unit (TTU) for offshore drill cuttings treatment.
- Equipment and system verification, including integration and testing activities.
- Operational procedures, interface management, crew competence and simulator training.
Through close collaboration with operators, drilling contractors and key suppliers, Rig Partner contributes to identifying operational challenges early, managing critical interfaces and supporting the safe and efficient start-up of both drilling campaigns.
