Rig Acceptance
Why 7-8 months in the fjord? (COSLPioneer, 4 months)
Technical challenges
Rig completion
 Emergency Shut Down and Fire & Gas system
 Electrical installation quality
Offshore acceptance
 BOP control system (LMRP disconnect)
 DP Stationkeeping - tuning
 Heave compensated Drawwork – tuning
Vendors
 Delivery quality and understanding of requirements
 Capacity and availability of competance
Client scope & acceptance process
3rd party scope
Interpretation of requirements (Client vs Contractor)
Acceptance Test Program – what to expect?
Industry challenge
 Agree on requirements
 Achieve early clarifications
 Agreed acceptance requirements
 Focus the scope to critical activity
Electrical Challenges

Operations
Key achievements
Simplistic HSE focus – Statoil best practice
COSLPioneer: «Rig of the month» after 8m
Continuous strong operational performance
COSLInnovator: 0.75 hrs dt first operating month
How?
Strong crew competance
Rig familarization - structure
QHSE / procedures made practicle

Merge process

Reduce paper
Meet people in their work place
Open and direct culture

Going forward..
Market competition for people
 COSLProspector = opportunities
2013 Operational focus
Job Planning / Barrier Management
Experience Transfer
 Common operating procedures
 Common practice for experience transfer
 Transfer Learnings to COSLProspector
Maintenance/stock optimizing
Keeping the COSL culture

Personnel requirements 2013-2015

2700 personnel required to man 21 new entry drilling units

Onshore management of 18-21 rigs

11% of personnel aged 61-70 yrs with the next 5 yrs

18-21 rigs require 3’party WL, ROV, CMT etc.

Planning and preparation for new drilling campains

Follow up from authorities

Service personell from equipments manufacturars

Courses and training

Competence & Capacity
Future challenges:

Vendors ability to recruit and train new and competent service personnel.
(Already stretched on both capacity and competence)

Shipyards ability to recruit and train new and competent yard personnel.
(Already stretched on both capacity and competence)

Drilling contractors ability to recruit and train new personnel.
(Will be a challenge in 2014 – 2015)
Possible consequences:



HSEQ !
Considerable delays if unplanned stop in operations !
Extensive delays in connection with modification projects, upgrades, SPS and new rigs !

Service personell & equipment

Limited access to competent service personnel


Drilling Equipment, DP systems, electrical systems, engines and generators,
thrusters, etc..
Long delivery of critical equipment

Do we have a challenge…
36
Now what?...

Coordinated information to the industry on future
requirements for resources and equipment

Reduce use of resources for rig mobilization / acceptance

Carefully evaluate initiatives, change of regulation,
revisions and industry requirements

Simplify training requirements
