Drydocks record rig turnaround

Dubai-based Drydocks World has completed a rig refurbishment project on Abu Dhabi-based National Drilling Company’s (NDC) offshore drilling rig jackup Beynouna in record time.

The work on rig Beynouna, which included dry docking, hull treatment, crane repairs, HP piping, SW lines cleaning, accommodation repairs and treatment works, was completed ahead of the 37-day expected schedule - in 28 days. 

A total of 40-ton of steel was used in the 21 various tanks, with the pipe shop renewing all sea water pipes in just seven days. The efficient completion of work on Rig Beynouna reflects the focused attention and excellent project team support allocated towards this vessel in order to reach the milestone date.

The Drydocks World rig division and NDC worked together as an integrated unit in order to ensure quality execution on Rig Beynouna, with excellent management support from both sides. Preparation and planning were key to the successful completion of Rig Beynouna, reflecting Drydocks World and NDC’s commitment to the systematic provision and implementation of stringent HSEQ initiatives. As part of Drydocks World’s incentive program, the top performers were awarded with appreciation gifts from NDC and Drydocks World to recognize their diligent efforts in celebration of excellent delivery on Rig Beynouna. Drydocks World looks forward to working with NDC again and is grateful for their continued faith in our services.
