MSI was contracted to provide technical due diligence (TDD) on one of the largest purchases ever of offshore drilling rigs (tenders, jack-ups, semi-subs, and drillships) in Brazil, Singapore, and China. MSI provided the client with a number of surveyor teams to conduct this SOW in the three different countries and supported them with our experienced technical support team. The work was performed on time, during the pandemic, to the client’s satisfaction, and under budget

At the peak of the COVID pandemic, MSI conducted a truly remote inspection of a drilling unit for a major operator in Malaysia. The client was not only satisfied with the service but invited over twenty of their personnel to witness the live-feed inspection online that utilized their own personnel, supported remotely by MSI surveyors and MSI technical support. The client informed MSI that ”many companies claim to do remote inspections, MSI actually does it!”

An operator experienced a significant well control issue while drilling a well on land. MSI was contracted to examine the BOP and well-control system where a number of failures had occurred leading to the event. The rig had just been inspected and accepted by another 3rd party inspection company, but they had missed a number of critical issues on the BOP that MSI readily identified. In addition, as the failed BOP was considered beyond repair, MSI was tasked with inspecting all possible replacement BOPs throughout the region, until a suitable replacement was found

MSI was contracted by a major shipyard to evaluate and determine the remaining cost to complete a group of rigs. This SOW involved both TDD and a detailed review of all of the records of the numerous assets so that the client could determine with a high level of confidence the ultimate cost to bring these assets into working condition. This SOW was completed on time, on budget, and to the client’s satisfaction
