RIGMOVE ONSHORE Wagenborg Foxdrill moves drill rigs for land drilling contractors and oil companies in Europe. Every rig move is approached as a new challenge and performed to ensure maximum safety and minimum non drilling time. We participate in post rig move analyses and improve the rig move concept, resulting in a 25% reduction in move cost. RIGMOVE OFFSHORE Our rig move services are also employed offshore. Every job starts with a site survey on both platforms, resulting in a detailed move plan elucidating work method, safety requirements, personnel, equipment and vessels. ALTERNATIVE RIGGING Alternative rigging can be very useful in situations where cranes are not available or have no access to the work site. We can provide hoist systems of lightweight portals and booms in combination with winches. Removal and replacement of crown blocks andcrown mounted heave compensator components can be performed by this system. ROPE ACCESS We use rope access techniques with our derrick building, modification and inspection jobs in accordance with the Industrial Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA). CONDUCTOR PILING Wagenborg Foxdrill provides the complete service for on- and offshore conductor installations like:
Non-productive drilling times for rigs can be lowered with our purpose-designed land frame. This enables the conductor to be held vertically while the hydraulic hammer drives it into position. Since a drilling rig is not required, a significant cost-saving is made. This method of installation will can be undertaken off the critical path of field development.
