📢 Aberdeen-headquartered ADC Energy Ltd. has been hired on a multi-year assignment related to the selection and acceptance of up to three #offshore #drilling #rigs, which will work at a recently greenlighted #oil project in #Suriname’s Block 58 operated by TotalEnergies. ⚓ 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 👉 https://buff.ly/3YecZ4c #offshoredrilling #oilgas #energy #oilandgasnews #offshoreenergy #oilandgas #Americas #fossilfuels #fossilenergy 📸 Appraisal drilling at Block 58 was done with the Maersk Valiant (now called Noble Valiant) drillship; Source: Noble Corporation

ADC Energy Awarded 2 Year Contract by TotalEnergies E&P Suriname B.V   Following a commercially competitive tender where ADC was able to demonstrate its added value through utilising cutting-edge technological approaches to operational assurance and over 38 years of expert experience, ADC was awarded the 2 years contract, with 1 year option. This significant collaboration will see ADC Energy playing a pivotal role in the selection and acceptance of up to three offshore drilling rigs for TotalEnergies’ ambitious GranMorgu development project offshore Suriname. ADC will service the contract with support from both its headquarters in Aberdeen and its US business unit, ADC Rig Inspection Americas Corp. in Houston.   Part of ADC’s bid outlined a commitment to providing continuity from the previous contract held between 2020 and 2022 where ADC Energy assisted TotalEnergies with the selection, reactivation and acceptance of the Noble Corporation Developer, Valiant, Gerry de Souza and the Transocean Development Driller III MODUs. The 2020 contract also included onshore monitoring of Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and onboard installation and commissioning of the Kinetic Pressure Control “K-BOS” system.   The collaboration is poised to enhance operational efficiencies while maintaining stringent safety protocols. ADC Energy’s seasoned subject matter experts will conduct thorough evaluations and inspections of the drilling rigs to ensure they are fully compliant with industry regulations and tailored to the specific needs of the GranMorgu development, which aims to enhance TotalEnergies’ exploration and production capabilities in Suriname and expected to contribute substantially to the region's energy landscape.   Early this month, Offshore Energy Today reported that the French energy giant has now sanctioned the GranMorgu development, which is interpreted to mean both “new dawn” and “Goliath grouper” in the local language called Sranan Tongo.   The GranMorgu project will develop the Sapakara and Krabdagu oil discoveries, on which an exploration and appraisal campaign was completed in 2023. The fields are located 150 km off the coast of Suriname and hold recoverable reserves estimated at over 750 million barrels in water depths between 100 and 1,000 meters. According to TotalEnergies, the project leverages technology to minimize greenhouse gas emissions, with a scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity below 16 kg CO2e/boe, thanks in particular to an all-electric floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) unit configuration.   ADC’s Managing Director Austin Hay commented on the contract award,   “We’ve supported TotalEnergies globally for over a decade; The trust that companies such as TotalEnergies places in our business to help them ensure all rigs are safer, cleaner and more efficient is not something that I, nor the rest of the team take lightly and we are looking forward to continuing to support TotalEnergies once again in Suriname.”

ADC in Mexico ADC's Business Development Manager, Jason McGill travels to Mexico City next week to attend the International Association of Drilling Contractors Latin America Forum. Over the last 10 years, ADC has supported clients including Wintershall Dea, CNOOC International, TotalEnergies, New Fortress Energy and Eni with operational assurance of rigs and vessels offshore Mexico.

Professionalism and Reputation   Every project ADC undertakes is unique, and we are often asked to help an Operator with an early assessment of a rig that is either being considered for a contract or has already been selected. This can present an opportunity to observe the rig in operation.   In such cases, it’s important to ensure alignment among all stakeholders. This includes not only ADC's direct client and the drilling contractor, but also the current operator, whose ongoing operations must be respected and uninterrupted.   While technical expertise is essential, our specialists' ability to communicate clearly and professionally with all parties is equally important. We frequently receive positive feedback from the drilling contractor regarding our professionalism and collaborative approach. However, during a recent inspection of an operational jack-up rig, ADC also received commendation from the current operator who we last worked with in 2016.   “…super professional and we are all pretty impressed… [Drilling Contractor] have made some very positive comments and are really pleased [with] the way you do your business.”   “we informed our management how good you guys are, so hopefully want to book [ADC] for next year for [a] semi and this jack up.”

IADC Advanced Rig Technology ADC’s Managing Director, Austin Hay and Business Development Manager, Jason McGill attended the International Association of Drilling Contractors ART Conference in Austin Texas last week. Among the 2 days of technology-driven discussions, keynote presentations and panel sessions was an overview of the collaboration between Seadrill and ADC to use machine learning and advanced data analytics to better manage the remaining useable life of BOP annulars. The presentation was concisely delivered within the allotted 5 minutes by Seadrill’s Johnathan Dady. Special mention also goes to the talented artist from Ink Factory Studio for creatively capturing the key messages and themes over the 2 days and for highlighting ADC’s ethos of making the industry SAFER, CLEANER and MORE EFFICIENT.

Global Teamwork Members of the ADC teams from Asia Pacific and the UK joined forces to support our client PETRONAS with a rig selection of a jack up which is currently operational offshore West Africa. Focusing on well control, drilling equipment and cyber control systems, ADC assessed the jack up’s suitability for operations and compliance with industry standards. An early assessment of potential rigs helps to mitigate risk to safety, productivity and the environment whilst allowing sufficient time for the Drilling Contractor to address any areas of concern ahead of mobilisation.
