Frigstad D85 MW

    < Go to index

    The D85 is designed for midwater operation. The hull is identical with the field proven hull used for Scarabeo 9. This gives the advantages of unique motion characteristics enabling the highest window of operation.  Combined with ample free deck space, with exceptional material handling facilities and high Variable Deck Load, provides a very efficient operation. Equipped with a single quad derrick with offline standbuilding to ensure high efficiency drilling.  Ability to transit with full set backs, 5.000 ft Riser in 100 ft stands and 40.000 ft drillpipe, saves days on each rig moove which again translate to saved overall cost.

    The general arrangement of the unit has been carefully developed utilizing the extensive practical experience of the personnel at Frigstad Engineering and Frigstad Offshore. All aspects of equipment functionality and placement have been carefully considered to ensure that each process is safe and efficient.
