Industry gets ready for 2007 hurricane season as mooring JIP nears completion, API guide updated

摘要

A JOINT INDUSTRY project on the industry's mooring needs is nearing completion, said JIP chairman Craig Castille, Dominion E&P drilling manager. He estimated that 90 percent -95 percent of the initial scope of the project will be completed by May 2007, and the rest should wrap up by August 2007. "We've made good progress," he said. "It's been a good forum for the dissemination of information, for active discussions and improvement in the management of risk. Very importantly, it's engaged the full industry, from suppliers to contractors to operators, both majors and independents."
