Rig Move, Relocation, and Readiness Consulting
The successful relocation and operation of a mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU) requires meticulous planning and a deep understanding of jackup rigs. Friede & Goldman provides comprehensive Rig Move & Field Support Services to ensure the safe, efficient, and timely execution of these critical operations.
Our experienced naval architects and engineers work closely with rig owners, operators, and marine warranty surveyors to develop detailed, site-specific procedures for every phase of a rig move.
Our services include:
- Pre-Move Engineering: We conduct thorough analyses of the rig’s stability, leg strength, and structural integrity for both on-bottom and floating conditions. Our engineers produce detailed leg penetration and punch-through assessments, ensuring the rig can be safely elevated at its new location.
- Towing & Transit Analysis: We provide advanced engineering support for towing and wet tow operations, calculating sea-fastening requirements, and performing motion and stability analyses to ensure the rig’s safe transit.
- On-Site Operational Support: Our field support includes developing detailed jacking procedures, ballast plans, and emergency response protocols. We are available to provide on-site technical assistance to address any challenges during the positioning and elevation process.
By combining our extensive design expertise with real-world operational experience, we help minimize risk, reduce downtime, and ensure a seamless rig move, allowing you to begin your field operations with confidence
