The next generation of drillship


Brand new overall concept
next-G DS

(e.g. drilling without tower)

Partial Modification of the concept


(e.g. new type of drilling tower which requires new practices to operate)

Overtaking dualism between Hull and Drilling System

INNOVATION

Driven by the changing of the boundary conditions


STANDARDIZATION

Big volumes, wide market

Stable boundary conditions


Granted market, low risk
CONSERVATISM

Mainly building new rigs when supported by a multy-years contract


CUSTOMIZATION

Specialized rigs designed for given environment, performances, operative regions, rules, local policy
