Global rig and well control equipment assurance specialist ModuSpec has secured several projects valued at around $750,000 to support clients with the intake and acceptance of deepwater drillships.
The projects include visiting two drillships currently operating in the US Gulf of America (GOA) and three in the Mediterranean for potential future deployment in West and Southern Africa as well in the Mediterranean Sea.
For the drillships in the GOA, a multi-disciplinary team will assess critical rig equipment, including well control, drilling, marine and station keeping systems, to support the operator’s selection process.
One drillship in the Mediterranean has already secured a contract for a multi-well exploration campaign commencing in Q4 2026. ModuSpec has been contracted to deliver a comprehensive intake programme, verifying that the equipment is operationally ready for deepwater operations and compliant with client internal standards and international regulations.
Whilst most units will be deployed for primarily exploration and development operations, one rig is specifically being assessed for well intervention operations.
Mark Watson, Regional Director with ModuSpec, said: “Clients continue to engage ModuSpec for deepwater campaigns, because of our ability to support the rig intake process from the selection phase through to contract award and final acceptance.
“Every project is customised to meet the client’s specific requirements, combining technical expertise with a practical approach that goes well beyond a traditional rig inspection.”
