INTEGRATED RIG STACKING AND REACTIVATION SOLUTIONS

The Rig Stacking and Reactivation Program (RSRP) is the first of its kind, providing a holistic approach with a team view, taking into account every aspect of your rig. Our innovative program includes an initial condition survey, daily or weekly preventative maintenance routine services and inspections, cost tracking, continuous preventative maintenance with feedback to drilling contractor, and remote monitoring. Once the market is ready for your rig, we will help you develop a marketability plan that will optimize cost, and streamline startup expenditures to get you working quickly and effectively.

From equipment preservation to volatile corrosion inhibitors, we have taken into account your needs for a successful stacking process. We will assist with unmanning your rig in a responsible and safe manner, providing you with emergency procedures, remote monitoring, location determination, and more. Whether you need a short term warm stack option or a long term cold stack solution, RSP is ready to tailor our solutions to your needs.

The Rig Stacking Program is a collaboration between LLC, Full Sail Group, LLC, and International Drilling Energy & Environmental Associates, LLC (IDEEA). Our unique approach sets the industry standard for responsible, comprehensive, and cost effective stacking operations.

DRILLING SYSTEM SERVICES

IDEEA, LLC will provide assessments of drilling systems types of rigs, from ultra-deepwater DP MODUs to 500HP land rigs. These assessments will cover a wide range of equipment and activities, such as post-repair and/or refurbishment of drill floor equipment, pipe racking systems, drawworks, iron roughnecks, and top drives.

  1. Commissioning and Acceptance New/Refurbish

    During construction of the vessel and/or drilling unit in the shipyard or construction installation, IDEEA, LLC will discuss with the client the specific project requirements of the New Build. From this information, IDEEA, LLC will determine the disciplinary requirements of the project and will hand-select the appropriate individual(s). The resumes of these individuals will be presented to the client for his review. Upon tentative approval, IDEEA, LLC will arrange interviews (as required) so that the client will have the opportunity to meet and vet the individual (s) in question.

  2. Rig Screening and Selection

    Conduct paper and/or field surveys to recommend rig fitness for purpose based on rig specifications. Review downtime statistics and rig efficiencies. Correlate advantages and disadvantages for various options. Prior to contract award, include a list of identified discrepancies that should be resolved prior to drilling. Compare estimated costs for alternate choices using efficiency and downtime data.

  3. Rig Upgrades

    Review contractor planned upgrades; ensure adequate specification, fabrication, installation, and/or integration. Perform acceptance against defined criteria. This has been particularly useful to reduce problems that are commonly experienced as new equipment is added to an existing rig, and reduces problems found when drilling starts. IDEEA offers project managers that have completed multiple refurbishments form land rigs, Jack-ups and Semi-submersibles.

  4. DROPS

    Increase safety by identifying objects in the mast, derrick, and/or substructure that create a risk or are at risk themselves of falling from the derrick, such as improperly added lifting points on structural members, corrosion, and unrestrained objects.

CONSTRUCTION OVERSIGHT AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Pre-commissioning /Commissioning

The successful transition between construction and operation must include the development of procedures, plans, and manuals. Training in these operational areas is also critical in integrating corporate standards into new business areas.

Shipyard Project Management

We will aid with construction oversight efforts with project management for cost control, scheduling, status tracking, and resolution, and other reporting activities. Most projects are turnkey, but if negotiated properly, both shipyard and the Drilling contractor should accept the commissioning or testing of the rig equipment. Often times this allows the client to have a say in the outcome of the acceptance of the equipment testing. When the procedures are reviewed and developed properly this will ensure comprehensive testing of the equipment. The delivery of the vessel in this manner will save Clients and Drilling Contractors time and money.
