WE INNOVATE

MANAGED PRESSURE
DRILLING (MPD)

Exploration of areas previously unknown and ‘un-drillable’ can now be realised.

DIGITAL
TRANSFORMATION

Stena Drilling continues to invest in R&D to improve services offered to our clients.

ATTACHABLE TURRET MOORING SYSTEM (ATMoS)

A patented submerged turret mooring system that can be attached to our drillships without structural modifications.

SURFACE BLOWOUT
PREVENTER (SBOP)

Extending the water depth operating capacity of a floating mobile offshore drilling unit.

Extended Well Testing (EWT)

In 2016, a client approached Stena Drilling to work on a concept for taking crude oil to the rigs’ hull storage tanks. Taking the crude oil into the hull storage tanks allowed the client to mitigate any unnecessary shut-ins associated with flare-out situations. This was vital to this operation as the interrupted flow meant that downhole gauges installed in five wells already drilled in the field could collect data on the reservoir performance.

The current trend for highly mobile deepwater rigs is for bigger drillships and semi-submersibles with ever-increasing building costs. Stena Drilling proposes a smaller drillship or semi-submersible, the DrillSLIM drillship or DrillSLIM semi-submersible to dramatically reduce the costs of wells in water depths up to 7500ft and relatively benign conditions.
