  8. How has the partnership with one of our key clients in Norway evolved, and what key factors have contributed to the record-setting drilling performance on the rig?

    Open communication with the client has been pivotal to the success of our partnership in Norway. Aligning our efforts toward a shared goal has not only enabled us to meet expectations but also reinforced the strength of our collaboration. Our solution-oriented mindset has driven our ability to devise innovative strategies for overcoming challenges and improving efficiency. This adaptability, coupled with a skilled team, has allowed us to seamlessly adjust to evolving needs and consistently deliver high-quality results.

    On the rig in Norway, our team has directly supported record-setting drilling performance by removing cuttings handling from the critical path, enabling fast and efficient drilling operations. We’ve optimised the process by reducing weather-related impact, streamlining cuttings transfer, and lowering personnel-on-board (POB) requirements, all while maintaining the highest safety and environmental standards.
