Quality Management

• SIRIUS is the main tool for integrating sustainability in our business practices

• SIRIUS is compliant with ISO 9001 and OHSAS 18001 and maintains ISO 14001, ISPS

and ISM certification where applicable

• We continously monitor, evaluate and improve the SIRIUS application and its content

...is essentially about securing that we deliver what our customers want

•We have a process for revision of the management system, which enables internal andexternal stakeholders to provide feedback, either via the SIRIUS revision form,

management reviews, customer surveys, or stakeholder meetings

• The feedback is integrated into one Sustainability plan (HSSE, CSR and Quality), which

guide our efforts in delivering what our customers want

We have a systematic audit framework in place to secure

that we, as well as stakeholders, comply with our values

and sustainability policies

Risk of Rapid Penetrations!

•Rig at positive draft to Zero air gap• (Positive draft requires higher preload to achieve the required Seabed Reaction)

• Preload as close as possible to sea level

- Gain buoyancy in case of rapid penetrations

- Pending actual weather, sea state and tide

 • re oa one eg a a me

- To reduce the overall weight of the rig andthen minimise potential structural damage

• Closely monitor the Penetration versus Seabed Reaction

as weight is added

• To catch the first indication of which Penetration Curvethe spud can is following: Lower or Upper Bound or ?

Departure – Freeing Legs

• Leg and Spud Can are stuck in the soil due to

vacuum underneath the Spud Can combined

with soil on top of the Spud Can.

• Jetting below the Spud Can will break down the

vacuum and start filling up the gap generated

by the leg creeping upwards. 

• The hull buoyancy will overcome the weight of

soil on top of the Spud Can.
