The jackup rig will incorporate dual cantilevers to optimise drilling operations Keppel Offshore & Marine Technology Centre (KOMtech) and ConocoPhillips are jointly designing a first-of-its-kind ice-worthy jackup rig to operate in the harsh Arctic Seas.The jackup rig will incorporate dual cantilevers to optimise drilling operations within a limited time window. The rig is also capable of 14-day self-sustaining operations and is resistant to impacts from ice floes.The joint design project is expected to be completed by end 2013."The features of this jackup rig make it a cost-effective and promising drilling solution for the Arctic Offshore," said Foo Kok Seng, centre director for KOMtech, an arm of Keppel Offshore & Marine.Source: Seatrade Asia

Joint project will yield breakthroughs in offshore Arctic drilling Keppel Offshore & Marine Technology Centre (KOMtech), a design and engineering arm of Keppel Offshore & Marine (Keppel O&M), and ConocoPhillips are jointly designing a first-of-its-kind ice-worthy jackup rig to operate in one of the harshest marine frontiers, the Arctic Seas.This jackup rig will have dual cantilevers to optimise drilling operations within a limited time window. The rig is capable of operating in a self-sustained manner for 14 days and is equipped with a hull that is designed for towing in ice. It is also able to resist the impacts from multi-year ice floes and ridges as well as withstand certain level of ice thickness.This joint design project is expected to be completed by end 2013.Dr Foo Kok Seng, Centre Director, KOMtech said, "We are glad to partner with ConocoPhillips to jointly design this ice-worthy jackup rig for the Arctic Seas.
