5.5 Regularity

5.6 Process/Ambient Conditions

North Sea environmental conditions shall apply.

5.7 Operational Requirements

• The derrick shall be capable of skidding with full set back in 25m/s wind.
• A travelling block hang off system shall be included in the design. The system shall support

block/topdrive with enough offset to avoid interference between the drillpipe in the rotary
table and the travelling block/top drive.
• The hoisting arrangement shall allow for entering of wireline tools through the top drive.
• Lubrication points with difficult access, f.ex. sheaves below the crown block, shall be
collected in a central lubrication system.
• An escape arrangement in addition to the normal access way, leading away from the
derrick/mast to a safe area, shall be provided.
• The derrick/mast design shall allow for conductor installation.
• All equipment, light, etc. in the derrick/mast shall be secured with soft wires.
