HOUSTON – Delmar Systems Inc. has completed the 200th mooring line release using its RAR Plus releasable mooring system. The milestone was achieved during Equinor’s Barents Sea drilling campaign with Odfjell’s semisubmersible Deepsea Atlantic.
The rig disconnection was performed in less than an hour and half without assistance from an anchor handling tug supply (AHTS) vessel.
The RAR Plus is a fully redundant (acoustic and mechanical) rig anchor release that allows mooring lines, under tension, to be released from the drilling unit. This eliminates the requirement for an AHTS vessel and provides for immediate departure from the well location, saving time and costs.
Nick Patterson, chief commercial officer said: “With an eight-line mooring release, taking under two hours, our customers are realizing substantial cost savings in rig and vessel time utilizing the RAR Plus.”
