A product of close collaboration with Keppel FELS and Stena Drilling, Keppel Offshore & Marine Technology Centre's (KOMtech) slim drillship design is an optimal solution for overcoming challenges in deepwater subsea wellhead intervention operations.

KOMtech's slim drillship design is engineered to economically and effectively perform such well maintenance, intervention and light drilling operations. Equipped with dynamic positioning capabilities and utilising a high pressure riser, the slim drillship is capable of drilling and well intervention work in a maximum well depth of 22,500 feet below rotary table in water depths no deeper than 7,500 feet.

This drillship design offers distinct advantages against traditional drillships through application of slim hole drilling technologies to enable the drilling of slim exploration and development subsea wells and well interventions, which currently are only in use on land rigs or jackups and fixed production platforms offshore.

At 145 metres long, it is a fraction of the average size of a high performance deepwater drillship used in worldwide exploration and is optimised for drilling clusters of subsea wells.
