Quick facts:
- Industry: Oil & Gas
- Customer: Talisman Energy
- Project: 80-capacity helicopter-portable drilling camp
- Location: Various locations in Western Province, Papua New Guinea
- Completion Date: Mid 2011
As part of their exploratory activities in the dense, tropical rainforests of Papua New Guinea, Talisman required a helicopter-portable drilling camp comprising of 80 single accommodation units with en-suite, dining hall and kitchen, food storage modules, and first aid room. Moreover, their plan included providing a drilling managers’ office complex installed in close proximity to the drilling rig platform.
The Red Sea's team of experts were able to design, manufacture, ship, and commission the entire drilling camp within the limited timeframe, despite trying weather conditions and logistical challenges. We built comfortable living quarters for the Talisman drilling team, complete with dining hall and kitchen, food storage modules, recreation room with games tables and lounge chairs, first aid room, etc.
