Customer challenges
- The client was sailing the rig with 36” x 30” conductor string suspended beneath with a limited weather window, requiring a tool to stabilize the conductor string
Expro Excellence
- ArticuLock® was used to de-couple the fixed MODU from the hanging conductor, enabling moving the rig up to 4.5m Hs
Value to client
- The 100 MT conductor was suspended beneath ArticuLock® for 34 hours during rig transit at up to 1.5 knots
- An allowable weather window for sailing the rig with conductor suspended underneath ArticuLock® successfully opened up to 4.5m Hs wave height
- Removed the risk of harsh weather impacting rig move
