Uniform designs win out in ultra-deepwater activity

摘要

Deepwater activity is picking up in the US Gulf of Mexico. Once again, deepwater rigs are finding their way into the US Gulf of Mexico (GoM). With a renewed focus on safe, efficient execution, operators are seeking out agile, purpose-built rigs to venture back into the region. The age gap typically is used to describe the situation of most crews; however, this phrase aptly describes rig fleets as well. Providing uniform design with an ample supply of modern equipment is an important first step for most drilling contractors seeking work charters in the world's deepwater basins.
