An effective rig intake process not only ensures that a rig ready to begin operations – it also reduces operational risk by identifying hazards early and minimising downtime through proactive verification.
Preventing costly non-productive time (NPT) is critical for operators seeking to maximise efficiency. ModuSpec – a global provider of specialist rig intake services – has recently received client feedback that shows just how impactful a robust intake process can be.
ModuSpec prides itself on delivering support that is far more than a ‘tick in the box’ exercise. The team partners with clients to develop customised solutions aligned to each project’s scope, driving efficiency into the rig intake process.
Working collaboratively from start to finish – reviewing, advising and bringing technical insight – ModuSpec ensures that the rig is fully prepared for safe, efficient operations. Recent client feedback reinforces this approach, the high-level of service delivered and the tangible impact it has on non-productive time.
One client commented on a recent intake project of a warm stacked jack-up in the Middle East and North Africa region:
“ModuSpec’s collaboration during the intake project is clear to see – the rig is now operating with less than 2% downtime which is great considering the extent of work required to reactivate the jack-up.”
Another client in Europe raised similar feedback:
“We used another company on a previous project, and the results were ok – we opted to use ModuSpec recently for their quality and implementing a different way of intaking a rig. We are glad to see the level of customisation, technical support and the results were exactly what we wanted. The jack-up has had a great start to the contract, very low NPT and in fact is now the highest performing rig in the rig owner’s fleet. A testament to performing a robust rig intake process rather than tick the box exercise.”
Mark Watson – Regional Director for EMEA commented: “The feedback from both clients is exactly what we want to hear and rings true to ModuSpec’s legacy and trusted name in the market. I believe we take things to the next level by challenging the traditional way of working and providing a much better end service. The end results for our client in terms of non-productive time and performance are clear to see. We have continued to reinforce our place in the market for delivering on complex rig intake projects.”
