The VDD400 Series MDR is supplied with 2 x HPU modules as
standard
The HPU Modules are Electro hydraulic and are rated for
operation within Zone 2 areas Each HPU has a total of 6 x
hydraulic pumps located within that provide fluid power to the
Hoisting Drilling Pipehandling and utility systems on the basic
rig package
Each HPU is identical and designed so that all operational
functions can be conducted via 1 x HPU thus providing
redundancy
Operations are generally conducted utilising both HPU units to
reduce load on HPU pumps Operation via 1 x HPU will be at a
reduced speed efficiency when power demands are high

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

The VDD400 Series MDR is supplied with 2 x HPU modules as
standard
The HPU Modules are Electro hydraulic and are rated for
operation within Zone 2 areas Each HPU has a total of 6 x
hydraulic pumps located within that provide fluid power to the
Hoisting Drilling Pipehandling and utility systems on the basic
rig package
Each HPU is identical and designed so that all operational
functions can be conducted via 1 x HPU thus providing
redundancy
Operations are generally conducted utilising both HPU units to
reduce load on HPU pumps Operation via 1 x HPU will be at a
reduced speed efficiency when power demands are high

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

The VDD400 Series MDR is supplied with 2 x HPU modules as
standard
The HPU Modules are Electro hydraulic and are rated for
operation within Zone 2 areas Each HPU has a total of 6 x
hydraulic pumps located within that provide fluid power to the
Hoisting Drilling Pipehandling and utility systems on the basic
rig package
Each HPU is identical and designed so that all operational
functions can be conducted via 1 x HPU thus providing
redundancy
Operations are generally conducted utilising both HPU units to
reduce load on HPU pumps Operation via 1 x HPU will be at a
reduced speed efficiency when power demands are high

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

The VDD400 Series MDR is supplied with 2 x HPU modules as
standard
The HPU Modules are Electro hydraulic and are rated for
operation within Zone 2 areas Each HPU has a total of 6 x
hydraulic pumps located within that provide fluid power to the
Hoisting Drilling Pipehandling and utility systems on the basic
rig package
Each HPU is identical and designed so that all operational
functions can be conducted via 1 x HPU thus providing
redundancy
Operations are generally conducted utilising both HPU units to
reduce load on HPU pumps Operation via 1 x HPU will be at a
reduced speed efficiency when power demands are high

The VDD400 Series MDR is supplied with 2 x HPU modules as
standard
The HPU Modules are Electro hydraulic and are rated for
operation within Zone 2 areas Each HPU has a total of 6 x
hydraulic pumps located within that provide fluid power to the
Hoisting Drilling Pipehandling and utility systems on the basic
rig package
Each HPU is identical and designed so that all operational
functions can be conducted via 1 x HPU thus providing
redundancy
Operations are generally conducted utilising both HPU units to
reduce load on HPU pumps Operation via 1 x HPU will be at a
reduced speed efficiency when power demands are high

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

The VDD400 Series MDR is supplied with 2 x HPU modules as
standard
The HPU Modules are Electro hydraulic and are rated for
operation within Zone 2 areas Each HPU has a total of 6 x
hydraulic pumps located within that provide fluid power to the
Hoisting Drilling Pipehandling and utility systems on the basic
rig package
Each HPU is identical and designed so that all operational
functions can be conducted via 1 x HPU thus providing
redundancy
Operations are generally conducted utilising both HPU units to
reduce load on HPU pumps Operation via 1 x HPU will be at a
reduced speed efficiency when power demands are high

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

The VDD400 Series MDR is supplied with 2 x HPU modules as
standard
The HPU Modules are Electro hydraulic and are rated for
operation within Zone 2 areas Each HPU has a total of 6 x
hydraulic pumps located within that provide fluid power to the
Hoisting Drilling Pipehandling and utility systems on the basic
rig package
Each HPU is identical and designed so that all operational
functions can be conducted via 1 x HPU thus providing
redundancy
Operations are generally conducted utilising both HPU units to
reduce load on HPU pumps Operation via 1 x HPU will be at a
reduced speed efficiency when power demands are high

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

The VDD400 Series MDR is supplied with 2 x HPU modules as
standard
The HPU Modules are Electro hydraulic and are rated for
operation within Zone 2 areas Each HPU has a total of 6 x
hydraulic pumps located within that provide fluid power to the
Hoisting Drilling Pipehandling and utility systems on the basic
rig package
Each HPU is identical and designed so that all operational
functions can be conducted via 1 x HPU thus providing
redundancy
Operations are generally conducted utilising both HPU units to
reduce load on HPU pumps Operation via 1 x HPU will be at a
reduced speed efficiency when power demands are high

The VDD400 Series MDR is supplied with 2 x HPU modules as
standard
The HPU Modules are Electro hydraulic and are rated for
operation within Zone 2 areas Each HPU has a total of 6 x
hydraulic pumps located within that provide fluid power to the
Hoisting Drilling Pipehandling and utility systems on the basic
rig package
Each HPU is identical and designed so that all operational
functions can be conducted via 1 x HPU thus providing
redundancy
Operations are generally conducted utilising both HPU units to
reduce load on HPU pumps Operation via 1 x HPU will be at a
reduced speed efficiency when power demands are high

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

operation within Zone 2 areas Each HPU has a total of 6 x
hydraulic pumps located within that provide fluid power to the
Hoisting Drilling Pipehandling and utility systems on the basic
rig package
Each HPU is identical and designed so that all operational
functions can be conducted via 1 x HPU thus providing
redundancy
Operations are generally conducted utilising both HPU units to
reduce load on HPU pumps Operation via 1 x HPU will be at a
reduced speed efficiency when power demands are high

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

The VDD400 Series MDR is supplied with 2 x HPU modules as
standard
The HPU Modules are Electro hydraulic and are rated for
operation within Zone 2 areas Each HPU has a total of 6 x
hydraulic pumps located within that provide fluid power to the
Hoisting Drilling Pipehandling and utility systems on the basic
rig package
Each HPU is identical and designed so that all operational
functions can be conducted via 1 x HPU thus providing
redundancy
Operations are generally conducted utilising both HPU units to
reduce load on HPU pumps Operation via 1 x HPU will be at a
reduced speed efficiency when power demands are high

Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by
reducing downtimerdquo the spokesman said adding the PampA efficiency gain was in line with Statoilrsquos so-called Step
(Statoil Technical Efficiency Programme) initiative
Heimdals HMP1 drilling production and accommodation platform is meanwhile being upgraded to serve as a
gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos
Petroleum Safety Authority to keep it operational until 2034
Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump
Archer was earlier this year hit by the cancellation of a $96 million deal for its other modular rig Archer Emer ald
by Talisman Sinopec Energy UK that had intended to use it for drilling work starting in the first quarter of next
year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector
The spokesman stated in an e-mail ldquoBoth rigs are currently being actively marketedrdquo
The contractor is touting the modular rig concept as a cost-efficient alternative to mobile offshore rigs and
traditional drilling platforms stating its compactness reduces the platform size required the size of the drilling
crew and associated construction costs

reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
He said a sidetrack will be drilled in the eleventh hole to be plugged to tap warm gas from the fieldrsquos own
reservoir to facilitate accelerated start-up of the platform which now serves as a processing hub for other fields
including Atla Huldra Skirne and Vale after Heimdal reached the end of its producing life last year
ldquoThis will increase recovery from the Heimdal field and also boost the production efficiency of the platform by

gas processing and distribution hub after Statoil secured a 20-year life extension for the facility from Norwayrsquos

Once the production well is drilled the rig will then carry out plugging of the final 12th hole in the PampA programme
in the first half of 2016 before the unit is demobilised for planned maintenance
An Archer spokesman said plugging and abandonment of the 11 wells had been carried out 55 days ahead of
schedule
However the drilling services contractor - backed by shipping and offshore billionaire John Fredriksenrsquos Seadrill -
has so far not lined up any further work for the Archer Topaz as contracts have dried up due to a market slump

year on the Montrose Area redevelopment scheme in the British sector

Statoil extends modular rig deal
Efficiency boost Heimdal platform
06 January 2015 0836 GMT
Steve Marshall 28 September 2015 0912 GMT
Statoil has extended its contract with Archer for use of modular drilling rig Archer Topaz
after achieving a significant efficiency gain in plug-and-abandonment work with the unit at
the Heimdal field off Norway
The state-owned operator now intends to use the platform -based rig to drill a new production well at the North
Sea gas field which has been shut down under the three-month extension to the charter that kicked off last year
A Statoil spokesman told Upstream the time required for the 12-well PampA campaign at the disused field had been
reduced by 50 giving it the opportunity to use the rig for the production well that will start drilling in the fourth
quarter and has an estimated duration of 90 days
