Contract for provision of rig inspection and acceptance services
Fossil Energy – Drilling Suriname
Following a commercially competitive tender process, in which ADC was able to demonstrate its added value through the use of cutting-edge technology approaches to operational security and over 38 years of expert experience, ADC was awarded the 2-year contract with a 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 from 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 Developer, Noble Valiant, Noble 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.
