Pre-laying the mooring system has some clear benefits whilst improving the efficiency of the drilling programme.
In effect for a pre-lay campaign two mooring systems are provided, with the rig using one whilst the second is ‘leap-frogged’ to the next well and prepared. The rig can therefore move to the new location and hook up to the installed mooring without waiting.
