At OTC Fincantieri unveiled a new next generation drillship design, Overdrill, created with support from Norway’s Aker Solutions. The vessel, at 208m long and 40m wide, accommodating 210 people, aims to be smaller than existing units through an integrated vessel and drilling equipment design while also increasing the variable deck load capacity. It would be capable of drilling to a maximum depth of 50,000ft, with a dual derrick, manage well pressure of up to 20,000 psi, and have a hook load of 1500 tons, Fincantieri says.
It is designed to come with three knuckle boom cranes, two at 100 metric tonnes and one heave compensated at 165 tonnes. It would also have a fully automated riser handling system, recently designed by Fincantieri and partner Navalimpianti. The firm has also designed retractable thrusters to allow for maintenance from inside the vessel and a recessed moon pool for large Xmas trees. The helideck can also accommodate two helicopters.
