據(jù)海上工程師網(wǎng)2022年6月29日報(bào)道，新加坡著名造船商勝科海事向其所有者世界最大海上鉆井商瑞士越洋鉆井公司交付了世界上第一艘第8代超深水鉆井船。  

“深水阿特拉斯號”鉆井船是基于勝科海事的Jurong Espadon 3T設(shè)計(jì)的兩艘超深水鉆井船中的第一艘。 

據(jù)Rigbuilder稱，已完工的鉆井船具有300萬磅的鉤載提升能力，其能夠適應(yīng)20000psi（磅/平方英寸）鉆井和完井作業(yè)的井控系統(tǒng)，為下一代鉆井船開創(chuàng)了新領(lǐng)域。

這艘鉆井船能夠在12000英尺（3657.6米）的水深作業(yè)，并能鉆到40000英尺（12192米）的深度。

據(jù)勝科海事介紹，鉆井船的設(shè)計(jì)和裝備都是為了優(yōu)化燃料消耗和降低排放。該鉆井船可容納220名作業(yè)人員。 

“深水阿特拉斯號”深水鉆井船將配備一個(gè)20000psi的防噴器和一個(gè)15000psi的防噴器。勝科海事正在建造的姊妹船“深水泰坦號”（Deepwater Titan）也將配備兩個(gè)20000psi的防噴器。

Transocean Takes Delivery of World's First 8th Generation Drillship

Singapore-based shipbuilder Sembcorp Marine has delivered the world's first 8th generation drillship, the Deepwater Atlas, to its owner Transocean.

The Deepwater Atlas is the first of two ultra-deepwater drillships based on the Sembcorp Marine's Jurong Espadon 3T design. 

The completed drillship features three-million pound hook-load hoisting capacity and, according to the rigbuilder, sets a new frontier for next generation drillships with its ability to accommodate well control systems for 20,000 psi (pounds per square inch) drilling and completion operations. 

The drillship is capable of operating at 12,000 feet (3657.6 meters) water depth and drilling to depths of 40,000 feet (12192 meters).

According to the shipbuilder, the drillship is designed and equipped to optimise fuel consumption and lower emissions. The rig can accommodate a crew of 220.

According to Transocean's annual report, the Deepwater Atlas will be equipped with one 20,000 psi blowout preventer and one 15,000 psi blowout preventer. Its sister vessel Deepwater Titan, which Sembcorp Marine is also building, will be equipped with two 20,000 psi blowout preventers.
