3RD GENERATION SEMISUBMERSIBLE DRILLING UNIT FRIEDE & GOLDMAN L-907 ENHANCED PACESETTER DESIGN

SCARABEO 6
BRIEF DESCRIPTION Built in Pori (Finland) by RAUMA REPOLA Shipyards, delivery 1984, based on FRIEDE AND GOLDMAN design, the Scarabeo 6 represents the best of third generation semisubmersible drilling units. The main operational functions of the vessel are: Exploratory drilling Production drilling Utilization for early production and extended well test all moored in 46 to 1,100 m water depth. The Scarabeo 6 design consists of a main deck supported by 6 columns, 2 pontoons, 3 horizontal bracings, 8 upright diagonal bracings and 4 horizontal diagonal bracings. In keeping with the highest environmental regulations, the Scarabeo 6 is zero pollution and zero discharge. DRILLING EQUIPMENT The Scarabeo 6s drilling equipment is designated to reach a vertical depth of 7,620 m in 1,100 m of water depth and is outfitted with a 1,400,000 lbs dynamic hook-load and a 650 tons (m) Maritime Hydraulic top drive. The large pipe rack area is suitable for storage and handling of 50 ft long riser joint. SYSTEM The rig system is made with a high degree of redundancy. System have power supplies from redundant subsystem and may be controlled from alternative control stations. This arrangement reduces the possibility of total blackout and improves operability under emergency. All pipings, such as cooling water, fuel oil, ballast, service air are, as far as possible, routed clear of hazardous areas. Quality Assurance/Quality Control have been implemented throughout the design and the construction phases.

ACCOMMODATION The accommodation module is made with structural fire protection and designed to accommodate 110 people with high level of comfort.
