Stena Drilling
Stena Drilling approached the IAS International team to support rig start-up operations for the semi-submersible Stena Don. The rig had been warm-stacked for quite a while with reduced crews, awaiting work in the UK.
After securing a contract with Total, the Stena Drilling crews, and IAS International team began their work. The project had to be completed in a short timeframe to meet operational timelines and acceptance of the rig by Total.
The project team utilized the On-The-Rig (OTR) simulator to conduct Operational Readiness Assessments and then based on the findings carried out performance coaching at the rig site to ensure the crews were prepared for the new drilling campaign.
Having the opportunity to train its crews utilizing the OTR system, on various operations like well control, stuck pipe and operational running of equipment, the Stena Don rig reactivation project was completed successfully in May 2018.
The Stena Drilling and IAS partnership continued with successful rig reactivations of the Stena Forth, Stena DrillMAX and Stena IceMAX Drill Ships.
”I have worked with all four of the IAS coaches since my introduction to the project and can honestly say that they have been very professional in the way that they have integrated with the crew and carried out the training requirements, it helps that they are seasoned professionals in our line of work which then makes our crew members more at ease as they actually know about the subject matter, which is not always the case with consultants.”
