2. Drilling and Production Vessels
PLATFORM
DRILL SHIP
SEMI-SUBMERSABLE
FLOATING PRODUCTION VESSEL

3. The Drilling Process Drill String or Crown Compensator
Motion Compensators
Riser
Blow Out Preventer
Drill Bit

4. BOP System
Primarily to prevent gas and oil ‘gushing’ from high pressure wells.
To control well operations during drilling.

5. Motion Compensator Systems
To compensate for movement between the seabed and a floating vessel.
Maintains down-force or tension on cables and drill-strings.

6. SUB-SEA PRODUCTION SYSTEMS

7. Subsea Production Cheaper than a platform Can be used in deep water
Ideal for ‘marginal fields’
Controlled through long hydraulic umbilicals

8. Erifon HD603 BOP Control Fluid
Used diluted with water (and Glycol) at 100:1.
Low Toxicity
High Stability
High Biodegradability
With Lubricants, Biocide and Corrosion inhibitors.

9. Erifon 818 For use in Motion Compensators
Extremely High Compression Ignition Ratio
With Lubricants, Biocide and Corrosion inhibitors.

10. Oceanic Fluids Ready to Use Subsea Production Control Fluids
Extremely Stable
Upto 180°C Operating Temperature
Low Viscosity for Fast Response
