Drilling Feasibility & Concept Support

Early-stage engineering input to inform design decisions, qualify construction feasibility, and establish realistic programme, cost, and risk baselines — working alongside specialist drilling contractors and equipment partners.

  • Concept-level drilling feasibility and constraints
  • Design for construction input
  • Equipment and technique option screening
  • Vessel suitability and selection input
  • Programme, cost, and risk baseline development

Drilling Campaign Project Engineering

Project engineering support for contractors with offshore drilling scopes, providing coordination, documentation, and interface management to enable safe, structured execution alongside drilling contractors and vessel teams.

  • Offshore procedures, RAMS, and execution documentation
  • Mobilisation and campaign planning
  • Interface management between vessel, drilling spread, and structures
  • Offshore readiness and execution support

Drilling-Related Design & Temporary Works

Structural design and temporary works engineering supporting offshore drilling equipment integration, deck modifications, and installation activities — developed in accordance with class and offshore operational requirements.

  • Seafastenings and deck integration for drilling equipment
  • Bespoke installation aids and project steelwork
  • Temporary works and lifting arrangements
  • Fabrication and installation readiness support

Installation Analysis & Naval Architecture Support

Naval architecture and installation analysis where drilling scopes interface with vessel motions, lifting, stability, and offshore operating limits — ensuring safe integration with broader execution planning.

  • Vessel motion and operability assessments
  • Lifting, lowering, and overboarding analysis (where required)
  • Stability and deck load checks
  • Integration with installation and execution planning

Technology & Equipment Development (Selective, Partner-Led)

Selective engineering support for innovative drilling-related technologies, validating offshore applicability and supporting early-stage design in collaboration with specialist partners and defined deployment pathways.

  • Use-case definition and offshore applicability assessment
  • Concept and early-stage design support
  • Market and deployment pathway input
  • Partner-led development and delivery
