The rig consisted of a box on box walking platform, it is a/c high line powered, running on the NOV Amphion edr system and an NOV built topdrive. The backyard contained two 70m3 mud tanks and four F-1300 triplex mud pumps that supplied the rig through a suitcase system. The rig was designed to be able to walk to an offline B.O.P that we pressure tested off line. The casing running equipment consisted of a Volant tool in which the driller would make up the casing to spec and graph the torque through a torque turn program NOV created to integrate with the edr for easily printable and storing graphs on the memory.
