/ Drilling Equipment

Huisman has been designing and building equipment for the offshore drilling market for over 15 years. Initially Huisman delivered cranes and pipe handling equipment, but with the development of the Multi Purpose Tower (MPT) in the late 90s, Huisman created the means to drastically improve offshore drilling and equipment handling. What started off with the delivery of riser and pipe handling equipment has evolved into the design and delivery of four state of the art UDW drilling ships outfitted with Dual Multi Purpose Towers (DMPT), the Noble Bully and the Noble Globetrotter vessels. After delivery of these vessels, Huisman further developed the design, resulting in the HuisDrill 12000. The design exceeds many of the capabilities of competing drillship designs.

 

We are continuously exploring and realising new solutions to improve drilling operations. Huisman is, for example, looking for ways to safely and efficiently take offshore drilling to the Arctic where many believe large undiscovered oil reserves lie hidden. Another focus point is to further improve efficiency and reduce HSE risks by fully automating the drilling system. The land rigs are already able to trip in and out of the hole fully automatically, without the need for any people on the drill floor.

Land Drilling Systems

Land Drilling Systems

The LOC 250, Huisman’s first land drilling rig was introduced in 2005 and designed to take advantage of emerging Casing While Drilling technology to reduce the costs as well as the environmental impact of drilling a well. After a few years, the demand for deeper/horizontal wells triggered the development of the LOC 250’s successor: the LOC 400 with a higher hook load capacity and the ability to drill deeper wells. To meet today’s demand for faster, more flexible operations in unconventional plays, Huisman has taken lessons learned from their previous land rigs and redesigned them to form the new InnoRig land drilling unit, 100mt trailer mounted rig HM 100 and 150mt trailer mounted rig HM 150.
