BIGGEST Oil Rigs are Offshore NAMIBIA

Показать описание
Namibia is seeing a boom in oil & gas exploration activity. Today we've got expert input from Colin Higgins to help us navigate the world of drilling rigs.

Some of the highest spec'd rigs have been drilling in the deep waters of Namibia in recent months. We talk through some differences between a drillship and a semisubmersible and describe the specific rigs drilling in the area. We also discuss how much a rig costs to run and estimate the total amount spent by oil & gas companies to date - and that is before a single drop of oil has been sold!

Our thanks go to Colin for lending his time and expertise for this video! We had a great time making it and hope to have Colin back on our channel at some point soon!

In this video we discuss: the Stena Icemax, the Tungsten Explorer (TotalEnergies Nara-1X & Venus-1A), Odfjell's Deepsea Bollsta (Shell's Jonker-1X), Valaris Ensco DS-10 (Shell's Graff), Maersk Voyager (TotalEnergies' Venus), the Island Innovator (Gazania - South Africa), the Deepsea Mira and Seadrill/Odfjell's Hercules (Galp).

We take a quick look at some design variants and the 2 main drilling packages (Moss CS60E and GVA 7500).

The drone footage of the semi-submersible rig was published on YouTube by Simon Templar:

Good video. Enjoyed watching. Just back from Namibia and its definitely getting interesting down there. People generally positive about the incipient industry, which is refreshing!

Great Video

This material is a good reference to look for some more models based on platform generations. My master's study addresses the topic of converting platforms in the final phase of operation, or already decommissioned, into floating naval bases.
