Oil Search lightweight drilling module

Oil Search lightweight drilling module

Tensa was awarded in March 2017 the job of designing and delivering a lightweight drilling module to Oil Search to be delivered by July. Tensa’s pitch was a new and innovative idea with 14 modules with a nine tonne limit per module to be lifted by a chin hook that was suitable for the highlands of Papua New Guinea, where Oil Search operates its oilfields. Great attention to detail was required in the use of lightweight materials and weight saving with the result of reducing the number of modules by 50%.
