We provide offshore site survey and 3D scanning services to support drilling rig modification and equipment interfacing projects. ICON captures accurate as-built data to inform engineering, reduce uncertainty and support safe, efficient offshore execution.
Drilling Rig Modifications
Overview
Driving safe and efficient outcomes across every stage of rig modification.
ICON supports rig modification and equipment interfacing scopes across all classes of mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs), in support of drilling, completions, subsea and well testing operations. Our teams work in operational offshore environments where schedule, safety and operational constraints are critical.
By combining multidisciplinary engineering with offshore execution experience, ICON develops fit-for-purpose modification solutions that are constructible, interface-ready and aligned with rig systems, certifying authorities and stakeholder requirements. We understand the fast-paced nature of rig operations and the need for quick turnaround without compromising quality or safety.
We can deliver discrete engineering scopes or turnkey packages that include design & engineering, fabrication, procurement & vendor management, and finally offshore execution and installation. We work semi-autonomously across third-party interfaces to reduce workload on operator and rig teams and improve execution certainty.
