Drilling

The Burntisland Fabrications Limited (BiFab) facility is ideally suited to all types of fabrication. Our sub-assembly bays are suitable for small to medium volumes, while our large fabrication halls allow work to proceed under cover, ensuring that programme risks due to weather are minimised. Our non-tidal dock allows the loading out of structures weighing up to 5,000 tonnes.

BiFab offers a facility suitable for the fabrication of:

  • Drilling Equipment Sets
  • Drilling Support Modules

Fabrication is carried out in the large halls, while the area available on the quayside enables full commissioning to be carried out prior to shipment offshore.

The Burntisland facility has had recent experience in the design and fabrication of Drilling Equipment Sets with the replacement DES for Shell Brent Charlie. This was designed and fabricated in a joint venture with Bentec.

Services offered also include:

  • Rig Refurbishment
  • BOP Repair and Testing

The fabrication halls allow the assembly and testing of BOP stacks prior to shipment offshore.
