Kinetic set to supply safety equipment to two deepwater NOL rigs

Northern Ocean (NOL) has entered a letter of intent under which Kinetic Pressure Control will equip the Deepsea Mira and Deepsea Bollsta semisubmersible drilling rigs with the Kinetic Blowout Stopper (K-BOS).

According to NOL, K-BOS can eliminate unshearable and unsealable situations and can secure the well in less than a second.

This should boost its drilling offering in ultradeepwater and harsh environments.

Kinetic CEO Steven Angstmann said, “K-BOS allows these class leading rigs to set a new standard for lowering the risk of a major spill to as low as reasonably practicable.”
