Offshore Rigs in Norwich.....

[Jmo1873]

Has anyone worked or heard of a rig called the ocean Viking, or something to that effect down Norwich? Any info would be appreciated. Keep the sarcasm to a two post minimum( I'm talking to you havespannerwilltravell )

Cheers

There is a drilling company called Viking Drilling. They have quite a few rigs so possibly one is in the Southern Sector at the moment.

See I can provide a non sarcastic comment. I generally only use sarcasm when the previous post deserves it !!!

Hahaha )

Do you know anything about these rigs? I've been in Aberdeen waters for 9 years so I have no clue, what I'm hearing isn't very positive tho :/

 

[Havespannerwilltravel]

Not much. American company I think. Still not sure if its one of theirs though.

There was a viking producer about years ago. It was a semi sub and must be 50 years old so wonder if its still in service. Semi sub though usually jack ups in southern sector as not very deep there.

Are you sure it`s the Ocean Viking and not just Viking as I am pretty sure there`s a gas rig down there .

Are we talking about a drilling rig or a production platform?

Viking gas field southern sector ConocoPhillips owned ?

I'm not entirely sure mate. She said it was ocean Viking but it might just be the Viking. I know it's down Norwich and I need to go to Lowestoft first....

Let us know when you get on it. They are all pretty much the same anyway. they must have done away with or converted all those 8 beds to a room drillers with common bathroom by now surely?
