When can EC-Drill® be used?
EC-Drill® is used exclusively on offshore wells, primarily with floating rigs and subsea BOPs, but also adaptable to jack-ups and certain platform setups.
EC-Drill® use is limited to offshore wells. It is normally used on wells drilled from floating rigs (semi-submersible or drillship) using a subsea BOP. EC-Drill® has also been used on jack up rigs during the initial hole sections taking suction from the conductor. There is also application for use on specific platform applications with a surface BOP when a subsea casing hanger system and separate drilling riser is used.
