Athens Group Services surveyors acts as drilling contractor representative for rig uptake activities

July 9, 2022
drilling contractor representative-for-rig-uptake-activities

A drilling contractor was required under contract preparations to execute an offshore deployment acceptance test plan for an operator. The contractor was concerned that they could not provide the resources with the time or expertise necessary to work with the operator and properly support the acceptance testing activities. The contractor engaged Athens Group to provide an acceptance testing plan specialist to act on behalf of the contractor to ensure the most effective and efficient execution of the acceptance test plan. 

The Athens Group Services surveyors specialist acted as a technical expert, facilitator, negotiator, and liaison between the contractor, the operator, and all third parties representing the operator. In this role, the specialist ensured that all test plans were in compliance with all operator and regulatory requirements; test schedules and personnel planning were managed to maximize efficiency and minimize the impact on contractor ongoing operations; and testing was completed according to the plan.

Following testing activities, the Athens Group Services surveyors specialist ensured that all test results and non-compliances were discussed and resolved as acceptable to all parties. The specialist also generated and issued daily updates to onboard rig management with scheduled testing times, personnel planning, test results, and issues management.

As a result of the Athens Group Services surveyors specialist’s role, the relationships between the contractor, the operator, and operator third parties were maintained in a professional best outcome focused manner, the impact on contractor resources and operations was minimized, contractor and operator costs were controlled, and outcomes were fit for purpose and acceptable to all parties.
