Offshore Drilling Rig Equipment

A free familiarisation course on the main equipment of a semi-submersible drilling rig, with a 3D model of each machine to explore and simulations of its checks and its everyday jobs. Learn ballast control and motion compensation, the drawworks, the monkey board, the catwalk machine, the iron roughneck, the driller's cabin, the subsea BOP stack, the offshore cranes, and the lifeboats and liferafts. It is awareness training: it does not replace the offshore safety and emergency training, the induction, or the job training and assessment your employer requires.
