Rig collapse at Al Shaheen field

The "Rumailah" has keeled over into the water after one of its jack-up legs collapsed while working on the Maersk Oil-operated Al Shaheen field off Qatar on July 5, 2015. The crew escaped in lifeboats, all personnel were safe and accounted for, and no damage to Al Shaheen facilities has been reported. The rig had suffered a punch-through incident and has been taken to the local Nakilat yard for repairs, estimated to take several months. The liftboat unit with jack-up legs that was used as a support vessel had recently undergone repairs including an overhaul of its jack-up system after one of its legs failed to elevate.
