Combining two rigs for flexible exploration
Two deepwater floaters with complementary capabilities work flexibly to meet the requirements of TotalEnergies’ exploration campaign in Suriname.
Meeting a range of needs
In February 2021 Maersk Drilling started work for TotalEnergies in Suriname, using two of our deepwater floaters, the drillship Maersk Valiant and semi-submersible Maersk Developer, to provide highly flexible operational capabilities.
With the unknown future of an exploration campaign, using a combination of rigs means we can easily adapt to what the reservoir holds.
The rigs are being used for a broad range of operations, drilling at different water depths where there are different needs, including making use of Maersk Valiant’s MPD and Maersk Developer’s mooring capabilities. They are supported by a large team and crew which enable us to easily handle any key activities needed.
Key additional services
TotalEnergies asked us to provide them with a number of additional services, including solids control and tank cleaning, H2S safety equipment and methanol storage. We integrate these services with the rest of our work in a seamless way, enabling highly efficient well delivery.
