01 Capability
AME was initially contracted through Transocean to provide 2x primary motion compensators and Tension Lift Frames for the completions and well testing of the Gorgon Stage 2 wells onboard the Transocean Development Driller 1.
The primary motion compensation system is required during locked to bottom operations to solve ton-mile issues inherent in active heave draw works systems. Extended locked to bottom campaigns and high string loads can often exceed the allowable ton-miles for the draw works wire causing possible fatigue failure in the wire.
A simple yet innovative, primary passive compensation solution
The system comprised of a 500ton primary motion compensator that is fully self-contained allowing minimal deck space for support equipment, as well as significantly reducing rigup time on critical path. The design also removes any requirement for high pressure & high flow gas lines in the derrick and external deck mounted accumulator banks.
The Colossus compensator connects to a modified 500ton AME Tension Lift Frame system to allow the required wireline operations for the completions and well testing.
