The DS 4500 is the latest Drillship designed by F&G. It can drill 50,000 ft wells in up to 4,500 m of water with limited support in remote environments. It is equipped with 20,000 PSI well control systems, adequate large hook load, separate stand-building center and large setback for greater efficiency. Highly functional deck spaces with large pipe racks, a semi-enclosed deck area with an overhead gantry and subsea access. Ample below-deck workshops, warehouses, container storage with forklift and crane access are all designed for unprecedented mission flexibility. Large slop tanks are provided to capture drains and storm water for zero discharge. Integrated Ballast Water Treatment and IMO Tier III diesel generators along with a dedicated Waste Management System and double-skin tanks minimize the environmental footprint for operation in sensitive areas.
