Submersible agitators tailored to tank locations and drill fluid composition

摘要

Submersible agitators from ITT Flygt are to be installed on six drilling rigs under construction for Maersk Contractors (four semi-submersibles and two jackups). In volume terms the order is one of ITT Flygt's largest for the offshore sector, with mixers to be installed in all the drilling fluid tanks in the semis, and in storage tanks in the jackups. Deliveries will be phased over 2006-07. ITT Flygt will supply SR 4660 and SR 4680 units, the biggest selling agitators from its SR 4600 range for drilling fluid applications. Maersk Contractors first ordered the company's submersible agitators in 2001 for its newbuild jackups XL1 and XL2, followed by a second batch in 2002 for the newbuild semi Maersk Explorer.
