LRP/EDP stack on BOP carrier SBOP In rack-back area
10 - Classification: Internal 2010-09-06 Operational Limitations
•WSOG •Position reference •Propulsion •Riser system limitations •Wellhead limitations •Drift-off / drive-off •”Zero Moment Position” •RMS system used as advisory system for rig positioning 9Fatigue monitoring / management
11 - Classification: Internal 2010-09-06 Experience with TT Riser System
• Pilot operation with new system offshore
− new equipment and procedures • stepwise and constrained progress.
• Improve cleaning after milling and drilling operations.
• No wear of the high pressure riser detected
• RMS − High focus – used actively − Relatively nice weather – low utilization
− High angles in Upper Flex Joint
