Resolve: Drilling HPHT wells in the North Sea
From 2014 to 2016, Maersk Resolve worked in the North Sea for operator DONG Energy on the Hejre field.
During the operation, Resolve successfully drilled a total of 5 HPHT wells. Pressure in the wells was reaching more than 1,000 bar and temperatures were around 170 degrees Celsius, all whilst the operational KPIs – tripping, BOP tests and ROP – were consistently strong and efficient. One of the wells was the 5th longest HPHT well
in the world drilled from a jack-up rig, measuring 6,625 meters in TD (measured in the Rushmore Index).
