Standby Pipe Recovery

Project-specific pipe recovery package positioned on the rig before drilling, reducing mobilisation delays if pipe or the BHA becomes stuck.

The Standby Pipe Recovery package puts the required recovery tools on the rig before drilling begins. Equipment is selected around the workstrings used during the project and the drilling activities with a higher risk of stuck pipe.

Cutters, punchers, severing tools and other recovery equipment can be included. Dangerous goods and items with longer lead times can be packed in a mobile bunker and positioned on board when drilling commences, reducing the need to wait for equipment availability or dangerous goods shipments.

Any additional equipment required can be supplied in heliportable packages and mobilised on call-off.
