North Sea Scenario Norshore Concept
Semi-submersible drills entire well; tophole
drilling, drilling with riser/BOP, well completion.


75 Days 10 + 65 Days
Norshore drill top holes & last part of P & A.
Drilling rig/ship to perform remaining drill work.
An oil company with three drilling rigs can drill ~14 wells in one year
With one Norshore unit and three drilling rigs he can drill ~17 wells in one year

Tophole Drilling - A more efficient way of drilling
Well cost reduction of 5 -15 %.
Annual increased rig utilization of 10 - 20 %
