Advanced Rig Moving Procedures including Jacking Systems
ENSURE YOUR RIG MOVING OPERATIONS PERFORM UP TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS IN COMPLIANCE OF CODES, RELIABILITY AND SAFETY.
16th – 18th APRIL 2012 | The Ritz-Carlton, Kuala Lumpur.
COURSE OVERVIEW
As hydrocarbon explorations move to deeper waters and more distant locations, rig moving operations under more extreme conditions are challenging the vessels and their crews. The growth of the rig jacking system developed largely because of economic reasons. With the global financial and economic turbulence still affecting volatile oil prices, operators can ensure their uptime by having operational excellence.
This 3-day highly interactive and practical course will focus on the different types of self-elevating offshore rigs, how they are operated and how they are transported. Topics include independent-leg and mat-type drilling units and an overview of moving and jacking procedures. The training will cover key technical and commercial questions that a rig moving team needs to address as part of overall operations. The course contents have been designed to equip delegates with new insights into the anchor handling selection, development and operational process.
