Rig Surveys
Knowing the technical condition and integrity of the asset is a key factor for safe operation and compliance. In a low-cost environment, the compliance to contractual and regulatory requirements are key to ensure the commercial aspect of operation. Rig Partner can offer technical condition assessments - including flag and shelf requirements – that can serve as input to rig acceptance, investment decisions and contractual compliance.

Re-activation of Drilling Units
Reactivation of an asset for return to operations will entail a set of activities, all on critical path ion order to meet the requirements set for commencement of contract. Either asset is cold-, hot- or smart stacked the process of returning to operation will entail both technical and organizational challenges that needs to be carefully planned and defined. Rig Partner offer experienced personnel to plan and assist in effective execution of reactivation.

Rig Management and Support Services
Recent downturn in the oil and drilling industries has led to downsizing and restructuring of the organizational capacity for several of the companies. In addition there is a change in the market where the contractual set up is in favour of shorter contracts for work sensitive to winter seasons. Rig Partner can offer competent personnel and services for rig management, studies and analyses, which can reduce your need for permanent increase or change in headcount.
Project and Classification Services

Rig Decommissioning
Services
