Rig modifications & drilling support

Carefully planned, safe and efficient, one stop service for modifications, upgrades and third-party interfacing on MODUs, MOPUs, vessels, platforms and FPSOs.

Rig, vessel and platform modifications

The safe and efficient mobilisation, upgrade and well-readiness of rigs while in-field, away from shipyards, requires careful planning and specific expertise to get right. At Aquaterra Energy, we are highly experienced in the planning of offshore construction and interfacing.
