Precision Navigation

Rig Positioning Service

A specialized navigation and surveying operation for moving Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs) to precise target locations. The survey team acts as the “pilot” for the Tug Master and Rig OIM.

Survey Objectives


Precision
Targeting

Position the rig’s Rotary Table within tight tolerance of planned coordinates.

Collision
Avoidance

Maintain safe clearance between the rig and existing platforms, jackets, pipelines, and wellheads.

Heading
Control

Orient the rig correctly for prevailing winds/currents and cantilever well-slot alignment.

Final
Verification

Deliver As-Built location report confirming exact Lat/Long and Eastings/Northings after pinning.

Anchor
Management

Guide tugboats to drop anchors in patterns avoiding subsea pipelines for floating rigs.
