据欧洲石油1月15日消息,吉宝海洋有限公司通过其全资子公司吉宝FELS有限公司于2020年年初安全、按时、在预算内交付了第一个钻井平台。该自升式钻井平台名为Heimdal,是吉宝KFELS B级的专有设计,是Borr钻井公司从吉宝订购的11个自升式钻井平台中的第五个。
吉宝公司执行董事Tan Leong Peng表示:“我们很高兴交付我们今年的第一个钻井平台,这也是我们为Borr钻井建造的第五个自升式钻井平台。KFELS B级已被证明是该行业的主力,我们相信Heimdal将为Borr钻井的勘探工作做出贡献。”
“自升式钻井平台的使用率一直在上升,随着老的钻井平台退役,市场对高规格钻井平台有着强烈的偏好。凭借在设计、工程和执行方面的良好记录,吉宝机电致力于为客户提供增值解决方案。”
在这次交付之后,Borr钻井公司将拥有8个KFELS B级钻井平台。
自2000年以来,KFELS B级自升式钻井平台的市场份额约占所有自升式钻井平台的四分之一,是业内的主力,并继续是浅水勘探的首选钻井平台解决方案。
该平台由吉宝公司的技术部门开发,具有成本效益高的特点,可以减少排放。它的设计工作水深为400英尺,钻深为3万英尺,并配备了完整的15,000 压力的防喷器系统,可容纳150人。

Keppel delivers first rig of 2020
Keppel Offshore & Marine Ltd (Keppel O&M) has, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Keppel FELS Ltd (Keppel FELS), made its first rig delivery in 2020 safely, on time and within budget. Named Heimdal, the jackup rig is built to Keppel’s proprietary KFELS B Class design and is the fifth of eleven jackup rigs that Borr Drilling has ordered from Keppel.
Mr Tan Leong Peng, Executive Director (Newbuilds) of Keppel O&M, said, “We are pleased to deliver our first rig of the year, which is also the fifth jackup rig that we have built for Borr Drilling. The KFELS B Class is a proven workhorse of the industry and we are confident Heimdal will contribute to Borr Drilling’s exploration efforts.
“Jackup utilisation has been increasing and there is a strong market preference for high spec rigs as older rigs are being retired. With our strong track record in design, engineering and execution, Keppel O&M is committed to providing value added solutions for our customers.”
Following this delivery, Borr Drilling will have eight KFELS B Class rigs in their fleet.
With a market share of about a quarter of all jackup rigs delivered since 2000, the KFELS B Class is the workhorse of the industry and continues to be the preferred rig solution for shallow water exploration.
Developed by Keppel O&M’s technology arm, Offshore Technology Development, the cost-effective rig incorporates environmentally friendly features that reduce emissions and discharges. It is designed to operate in 400 feet water depth and drill to 30,000 feet, and is equipped with a full 15,000 psi BOP system, with accommodation for up to 150 personnel.
