Deck drains shall generally be located in the corners of spaces or coamings, but the final location is
dictated by the arrangement of the specific area.
Clean drains are fromthose areas not subject to contamination by oily liquids, fuels or chemicals
such as quarters, main deck and house top, exterior doors and vestibules, interior accommodation
deck drains other than toilet spaces, etc.
Contaminated drains are from those areas that are subject to contamination by spillage or leakage of
oily liquids, fuels or chemicals. There are four types of contaminated drain collection holding tanks:
(1) a single bilge contaminated drain holding tank for collection of liquids from all
the below deck machinery spaces, loading stations, vent coamings and main
deck pipe storage areas (except mud pump room and mud mixing room),
(2) two drain holding tanks (port and starboard) for collection of liquids from the
accommodation, main deck and house top, exterior doors and vestibules, interior
accommodation deck drains other than toilet spaces, etc.
(3) the skimmer tank for collection of fluids from the drill floor and cantilever areas,
and other hazardous areas

17.2 DRILLING EQUIPMENT AND PIPE HANDLING SYSTEMS
17.2.1 Derrick
The primary purpose of the derrick is to support the weight of the string of tubulars used to drill the well and
the weight of the casing string when lining the well. The weight of the drill string is transmitted through the top
drive which, in turn, is supported by the hook / traveling block. The traveling block is raised and lowered using
the drawworks and drilling line. Casing may be run on the top drive or on the hook if the top drive can be
parked.
The derrick is a 51.8 m(170 ft.) high, and has a 12 m x 12 m (40 ft. x 40 ft.) base and 5.5 m x 5.5 m(18 ft. x 18
ft.) crown opening. The derrick, which is load-tested on installation, has a nominal hook load capacity of 750
st. (1,500,000 lbs.) with a limited setback capacity in transit field move of 181 mt. (400 kips) of pipe in
the derrick and is of a latticed structure. Cladding, which provides protection for the crew and equipment, is
installed fromthe rig floor to a level approximately 8.5 m(28 ft.) above the rig floor and at the monkey board
level, extending approximately 5,5m (18 ft.) towards the crown. A pipe racking platform is installed
approximately 27.5 m(90 ft.) above the rig floor. Two air winches are installed to facilitate the safe handling
of pipe at this level, if required. Access from the drill floor to the 90 ft. level or the crown is by means of a
ladder complete with staging platforms, safety rings and aided by a derrick climber (lad-safe type). An
emergency escape (controlled descent) device is situated at the 90 ft. level and is anchored to a safe
escape/landing area.
A casing stabbing basket is situated on the inside of the derrick. The derrick is also equipped with blocks and
tackle for auxiliary lines to and fromvarious items of equipment such as rotary tongs, man riding winches and
mud buckets, etc. All derrick mounted tackle equipment is fitted with safety straps.
The unit is equipped with a multi-sheave crown block with a maximumload rating of 750 st., a traveling block
which has seven 1.524 m(60 inch) diameter grooved sheaves and idler sheaves as required suitable for 1 3/4
diameter wire line and a load rating of 750 st. The traveling block is attached to a guide dolly which is
mounted onto the derrick installed rail system which prevents lateral movement and counteracts drilling torque.
The derrick generally will be delivered to the shipyard in its component pieces. The Builder will contract with
DEV to supply a derrick erection crew who will erect the derrick in position on the drill floor. The Builder
shall assist the derrick erection crew by furnishing the necessary labor, crane assistance, etc. to complete the
task. Builder shall furnish, build and install the foundation for the derrick to the design supplied by F&G.
Once the derrick has been erected it shall be Builders responsibility to provide all of the necessary crane
assistance, personnel, supplies, equipment and services to install the remainder of the equipment and services
into the derrick generally as directed by Drilling Equipment Supplier representatives.
17.2.2 Drawworks and Accessories
The drawworks consists primarily of a revolving drumdriven by AC motors, sufficiently sized as required for
the 750 st. hook load. The primary function of the drawworks is to draw pipe out of the well or lower pipe into
FRIEDE & GOLDMAN, LTD. BASED ON JOB #7811 REV. 0
Friede & Goldman, Ltd., Houston TX USA Rev. G 3
the well. The drill line is spooled onto the drumand when the direct coupled drawworks is engaged, the drum
turns and depending on the direction that it turns, either reels in the drilling line to raise the traveling block or
pays out the line to lower it.
The AC drive motors have blowers mounted on top for cooling purposes and also to maintain a positive
pressure within the motor to prevent any ingress gas, rendering thempurged / pressurized. Their cooling air
supply is taken from and exhausted to a safe area.
The drawworks is supplied drilling line that comes off the storage drum, which first passes through the deadline
anchor and is reeved between the crown of the derrick and the traveling block before being wrapped around the
drumof the drawworks a sufficient number of times to allow the block to travel the height of the derrick. Once
an adequate quantity is fed onto the drawworks drum, the drill line is secured at the deadline anchor using bolts.
Control of descent of the drawworks is primarily by the AC motors. The VFD systemis designed to provide
regenerative braking capabilities in addition to the disc braking system. The drawworks is controlled by the
drilling system, operated from the drillers or assistant drillers chair.
The drawworks is equipped with a hydraulically powered disc brake system (including a plate disc brake
system), incorporating a number of calipers, main as well as emergency. The systemis operated froma
dedicated hydraulic power pack located on the rear of the drawworks which is primarily pressured by an
electric motor/pump. The hydraulic power pack incorporates both high temperature and low fluid level alarms.
Should this electric motor/pump fail the systemhas a back-up facility in the formof an air pump and
accumulator bottles. The drawworks brakes are fail safe to set.
The drawworks' brake cooling systemconsists of fresh water, closed-loop heat exchangers complete with tank
and two circulating pumps located beneath the rig floor directly below the drawworks. Cooling water for the
heat exchangers is routed through a radiator for cooling. A flow rate, temperature, pressure, etc. monitoring
systemshall be furnished.
The drawworks control systemincludes a kinetic energy monitoring system(KEMS) which monitors and
controls the speed of lowering of the blocks in conjunction with the hook load. Should the kinetic energy
monitoring systems calculate excessive lowering speed for the weight being lowered, it will automatically
control the VFD systemto reduce the drawworks drum speed and, if necessary, apply the disc brake. In
the event of power failure to the auxiliary brake, the kinetic energy monitoring unit will apply the disc brakes.
The control systemshall also prevent collision between the crown, drill floor, auxiliary equipment in the
derrick such as pipe handling, bridge crane, etc. and the traveling block.
The Builder shall install the drawworks and all of its accessories at the locations on the drill floor and on the
foundation specified by the DEV. Builder shall satisfy himself that there is adequate clearance between the fast
line, the dead line, the derrick structure and equipment in the derrick and that there is sufficient clearance

It shall be possible to stop and start the pumps from the drill floor or mud pump room. The mud pumps
take their suction from the DEV supplied charging pumps which take suction from the mud pits. The
suction manifold from the mud pits to the charging pumps shall be configured in such a manner as to allow
flexibility in selecting the mud pits to be drawn from. Each mud pump shall have a dedicated charging
pump, but the system shall allow assignment of other charge pumps (273 m/hr.). The Builder shall furnish
and install a high pressure piping system in which mud discharged from the mud pumps is pumped through
a crossover mud manifold located in the pump room and a parallel run of hard piping and high pressure
hoses (main hull to cantilever, cantilever to drill floor), which have a continuous working pressure rating of
517.2 Bar, to the stand pipe manifold on the rig floor. The stand pipe manifold shall be of the 'H' type
effectively giving two outlets which can be isolated from one another and providing greater redundancy in
the event of one failing. From the standpipe manifold, the mud flows through a DEV supplied flexible

FRIEDE & GOLDMAN, LTD. BASED ON JOB #7811 REV. 0
Friede & Goldman, Ltd., Houston TX USA Rev. G 9
The solids control systemand equipment shall be located within the cantilever generally as shown on the
Contract Drawings and capable of handling of at least the maximum return flow from two HP mud
pumps @ 1500 gpm as a minimum. The system comprises the following equipment, all of which will be
supplied by the DEV and installed by Builder:
Gumbo removing equipment (gumbo shaker)
Mud flow divider
Shale shakers
Desander
Desander pump
Desilter
Desilter pump
Degassers
Mud cleaner (desilter mounted over one of the shale shakers)
Centrifuges (optional and 3
d
party)
Centrifuge feeding pumps (optional and 3
d
party)
Trip tank pumps (2)
Stripping tank
Cuttings dryer and cuttings handling skip and ship system(provision for space only)
2 ea. Portable 2500 cfmbug blowers.
The mud flows fromthe bit up the annulus transporting drilling cuttings fromthe bit to surface. Once on the
surface, the mud flows fromthe well bore down the flow line to a cascade shaker configuration. Firstly the
mud flows across gumbo shakers where the larger cuttings and clay balls are removed and discharged either
overboard or into skips. The underflow is then processed further across any number of the five shale shakers
located in the shale shaker house which, dependent upon the screen size installed, can remove unwanted solids
larger than 75 microns. The shaker area or shakers are enclosed to contain condensation and fumes from the
mud. Builder shall furnish and install a ducted atmospheric extraction systemthat removes the contaminated
air and exhausts it out through the deck below the BOP area.
The mud then flows from the shakers into the sand trap and then through the remaining treatment pits
where the finer solids can be removed by either centrifuging or mud cleaners. If required, the mud can be
degassed using either of the two degassers which work on a vacuum principle gas cut. Mud is pumped
through the degasser and a vacuum pump in the unit creates a low pressure condition making it easier for
the gas to 'break out' from the mud and the disengaged gas is vented up the derrick. The mud then flows
from the shaker house via the mud return ditch and is returned to the 'active pit' to be re-circulated back
through the system. The active / reserve / slugging mud pits are totally enclosed and agitators are installed.
17.3.3.2 Mud Mixing
The mixing systemis designed to take mud fromany particular mud pit, circulate it through either of two mix
lines to the mixing hoppers where bulk mud materials or chemicals can be added in order to give the mud the
required drilling properties. The mud is then returned to the same pit or an alternative pit. The systemshall be
designed in such a way that mixing and transferring can be done simultaneously.
The mix pumps (250 m/h, 100 kW) can also be used to transfer mud to the cantilever trip tank and shale
shaker tanks, cement unit and, if required, to a supply vessel through transfer hoses located at the bulk loading
stations either side of the unit.

fromany mud pit, such that two different fluids can be pumped to the drill floor at once. It shall be furnished
and installed by Builder according to the Contract Plans and to the requirements of Section 14 of this
Specification so that all of the systems work together and independently as required by the DEV.
Each of the mud pits shall be interconnected through the suction pipe work and the two mixing lines and one
shearing line. Any of the three dedicated centrifugal mixing and shearing pumps shall be able to take suction
fromany pit and discharge into any pit. The lines shall go through manifolds in such a way that they provide
maximumflexibility in terms of taking suction fromand discharging to the mud pits. The entrances to the mud
pit roomshall have self-closing doors with an airlock and ventilation to create an under pressure with respect to
the adjacent rooms as per API 505.
Builder shall furnish and install mud ditches and gravity flow return troughs to carry the drilling fluids from the
well bore back to the active system. All ditches shall have circular (half round) bottoms and all ditches and
piping in the mud return systemshall have consistent slopes throughout, the maximumslope achievable is to be

Each bulk tank has its own fill, discharge, air supply and vent lines which are segregated fromone another by
either one or a series of pneumatically controlled valves. The fill and discharge lines can be made common
through a series of crossover valves which gives the systemgreater flexibility. The air supply lines are totally
segregated and non-return valves are installed at the inlet to each tank or at any connection into the bulk system
to prevent contamination of the air systemby bulk material. Bulk air is supplied into the bottomof each tank
through a 'spider' systemwhich both pressurizes the tank and aerates the bulk product. The load and discharge
lines have air purge lines installed to assist in the transfer of material and blowing the lines clear at the
completion of each transfer.
17.4.2 Sack material handling and storage

The choke manifold design must allow for bypass of the MGS. The Builder will supply fine read out
choke manifold gauge ranges of the 1,000 psi, 5,000 psi and 15,000 psi ranges.
17.5.5 Mud Gas Separator
The Mud Gas Separator (MGS) is connected to the choke manifold. When the mud enters the MGS, it passes
over a series of baffles which promote the gas to break out and eventually discharge up through a Builder
furnished and installed 300 NB (12) vent line extending up the derrick fromthe MGS to above the crown. The
liquid returns line taking the mud back to the surface systemcontains a 'U' tube arrangement which remains full
of mud, thus providing a liquid mud seal which forces separated gas to exit through the 300 NB vent, thus
preventing gas frommigrating downstreamto the mud processing area and ending up in the pits. To maintain
the integrity of the mud seal an additional line shall be connected to the 'U' tube to enable freshly weighted mud
to be regularly circulated through the tube. A secondary anti-syphon vent line shall be installed extending
13.75 m(45 ft.) up the derrick fromthe top of the 'U' tube. The height difference of the U tube shall be 6.0 m
(20 ft.) with a minimumdifference of 4.5 m (15 ft.).
17.5.7 BOP Handling and Service Cranes
The area between the cantilever beams and under the drill floor houses the BOP handling and storage system. .
The main BOP handling systemconsists of a rail mounted hydraulic lifting crane which is located in the BOP
area and which has the capability to move both forward and aft as well as transversely, port and starboard. The
crane is designed to facilitate the landing, disconnection and transportation of a complete BOP assembly up to a
maximumweight of 125 mt. from the well center to the test/storage skids located forward of the conductor
tensioner platform. The crane consists of vertically telescoping forks which engage a specially designed lifting
ring installed around the bottomof the annular preventer on the BOP. The unit does not have any means of
determining the load being lifted, therefore, should only be used with known weights.
Hydraulic supply to the trolley drive, bridge and six hydraulic lift cylinders on the forks is derived from the
multi-purpose hydraulic unit located on the cantilever. If hydraulic pressure is lost all functional control is lost
and its brake applied. Control of the unit is froma console located in the BOP area. The unit is only operated
when in the jacked-up mode. When in the floating mode the unit is locked in the stowed position.
Attached to the bridge crane are two 5 mt. air hoists which are controlled independently from push button
pendant control boxes. These cranes are used to service the BOP(s) once in situ.
In addition to the BOP handling system, the unit is also equipped with two (2) Ex proof electrically operated
17.5 mt. service bridge cranes which traverse the BOP test / storage area and is used for the service and
maintenance of the BOP stacks. The BOP Service Cranes can operate independently or in tandem. Control of
the crane is through a festooned, push button, pendant which allows for hoisting/lowering, trolley
forward/reverse and port/starboard operations. The block is equipped with a maximumsafety limit switch to
prevent hoisting the block into the structure.
Several devices are fitted to stop the trolley and bridge at their extreme limits of travel.
The BOP storage and deployment are configured for a two stack system, though only a single stack systemis
initially employed; the second position can be utilized for well head construction. The BOP(s) are stowed on
retractable storage skids in the test/stowage area. These skids are equipped with hydraulic rams which enable
the BOPs to be skidded longitudinally from the stowed position to the moon pool so that the BOP handling
systemcan latch and transport the BOPs to the well bore. BOP test stump(s) are permanently attached to the
skids.
17.5.8 Conductor Tensioning Unit
For deepwater operation, the unit is capable of applying a primary vertical tension to the conductor pipe up to
272.1 mt. at any position of the cantilever and substructure and up to 136 mt. secondary tension to the BOP
stack. Supported on a structural platform(Conductor Tensioner Platform) hung fromand below the cantilever,
the Conductor Tensioning Unit (CTU), consisting of four pairs of hydraulic cylinders driving a lift ring
assembly which reacts against a load collar attached to the conductor pipe to apply tension. The CTU is also
designed to slide transversely 4572 mmeither side of the hull centerline and is locked in place (in 150 mm
increments) to accommodate any drilling position within the range of the transverse drill floor movement.
Consistent and balanced load is assured by hydraulic accumulators serving opposite pairs of cylinders. Each
FRIEDE & GOLDMAN, LTD. BASED ON JOB #7811 REV. 0
Friede & Goldman, Ltd., Houston TX USA Rev. G 14
bank can be independently adjusted. The CTU cylinders have a maximum600 mmstroke so changes in the
length of the conductor pipe due to temperature fluctuation and lateral motion of the conductor fromwave or
current action are automatically accommodated.
Monitoring and control of the systemis through a control panel. The systemincorporates several isolation
valves, each accumulator bottle can be isolated individually and the systemcan be isolated from the power
pack.
The support platformitself is totally enclosed and can be raised and lowered vertically and secured to allow the
cantilever to be retracted all the way forward for transit mode. In order to raise and lower the platform, a
special tool attached to a length of drill pipe which is hung from the top drive and latches into the center of the
CTU base. Lateral support to the BOP is provided by four 10 mt. deck winches mounted in the corners of the
cellar deck with the wire led through fairleaders. The CTU and CTP will both be supplied by the DEV and
installed by the Builder.
17.5.9 Secondary Tensioning System
The unit is equipped with a secondary tensioning system which, if it is intended, will support the weight of the
BOP stack, thus reducing stress loading on the riser.
The systemconsists of four 34 mt. x 900 mmstroke hydraulic rams which are suspended from pad eyes
mounted beneath the rotary table and attached to the BOP stack. Hydraulic power is supplied fromthe multi-
purpose hydraulic power pack. The systemalso has independent accumulators fitted.
17.6 WELL TEST SYSTEM
A fixed well test piping system shall be provided. A single high pressure (75 mm x 690 bar) (3 x 10,000 psi) line
shall be run from the drill floor to the well test area on main deck. This run will include the standpipe and
gooseneck at the drill floor, jumper hoses between drill floor / cantilever, and cantilever / main deck. The system
and all its components shall be suitable for H
2
S service.
From the well test manifold, a 150 mm x 100 bar (6 x 1500 psi) line to and 100 mm and 150 mm x 100 bar (oil and
gas) lines from a test separator position will be provided (separator to be supplied by the testing service company).
The 100 and 150 mm, 100 bar rated oil and gas test lines shall be run to a transverse distribution header along the
transom between the port and starboard burner boom locations. Sufficient valves shall be provided to allow
selective discharge between port or starboard and provide complete isolation. All connections to hoses or test area
shall be of the hammer union type. A 100 mm airline shall run port to starboard along the transom, to allow a third
party air compressor on either side of the deck, to provide air to the flaring operation. This airline shall never be
connected into the service air system.
