The company said the original plan was for the rig to arrive in March, but the arrival to Olensfjord was pushed up to 14 February.
“How many workers we will need is difficult to estimate at the moment, but the work will involve welders, plumbers, metal workers and divers that will help out with thrusters and bottom valves,” says Svein Stene Westcon project manager. “We will also use Westcon Lofteteknikk (WCL) in certification work. The oil companies have different suppliers and when a rig changes contractor much of the equipment is often replaced. So we will most likely install third-party equipment.”
The Westcon Group company Westcon Power & Automation (WPA) is preparing the rig for the yard stay.
In the beginning of March, the Transocean Leader will have a 35-day contract with Safe Scandinavia. The rig will sail to the British sector of the North Sea until May, when it is ready for a new contract.
