Project: Wikinger OWF

When driving the jacket foundation piles, some piles did not reach target penetration due to the soil conditions. 
DDC and Barge Master setup a solution within three weeks engineering & preparation and two weeks mobilization.

By compensating the 3D motions of the barge the drilling operations continued throughout the winter irrespective of waves and swell. The 70mT weighing Bottom Hole Assembly was precisely lowered and positioned by the 3D compensated crawler crane, motions of the drill and drill pipe were completely eliminated. The motion compensated drill rig PBA 936 made this 24/7 non-stop operation very cost efficient and above all safe!
