Seadrill receives ABS MPD™ notation enabling safer deepwater drilling
ABS has issued the managed pressure drilling notation ABS MPD™ to Seadrill for the ABS-classed West Capricorn, a 6th generation ultra-deep water semi-submersible operating in the Gulf of Mexico. This notation demonstrates system compliance with the ABS Guide for Classification and Certification of Managed Pressure Drilling Systems (MPD Guide). Seadrill’s WEST CAPRICORN is the first Column Stabilized Drilling Unit to receive the ABS MPD™ notation complete with the Maltese Cross, which denotes survey attendance throughout the process, from vendor fabrication to on-board installation, ABS said in its press release.
