We recently learned that the rig being used to drill the two relief wells is the new Development Driller Three (DDIII) owned by TransOcean. This rig was just brought to the gulf from the shipyard in Asia and represents the absolute latest in drilling capacity and technology. We recently completed projects on the sister rigs DDI and DDII. We currently have a project on DDI that has been delayed not surprisingly. The ductwork has all been fabricated and the equipment received. The project is fully staged and loaded into shipping containers here at our plant. We were ready to deploy our skilled crews until the recent work delay. Those of us who have been out on the rigs all have been through a compulsory three-day safety training program including specific training on the type of disaster that just occured. We are all amazed that this could have happened. I personally have been in hundreds of industrial plants and environments yet never any with the focus and work-safe discipline as these offshore rigs. It will be interesting to wait for the results of the investigation. Meanwhile…drill on DDIII and godspeed.
