VIDEO: ‘Overdrill’ Drillship Design by Fincantieri and Aker Solutions

Fincantieri, one of the world’s largest shipbuilders, has launched a video showing its drillship design: The Overdrill.

The vessel is the next generation drillship which will enable the drilling contractors to drill to a maximum depth of 50.000 feet.

The design has been developed by joint effort of Fincantieri and Aker Solutions. The OVERDRILL design was first introduced to the public last month during the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston, USA.

During the event, Giuseppe Coronella, EVP of Fincantieri Offshore, stated: “The offshore drilling market is driven, on the one hand, by demand for traditional standard systems and, on the other, by ultra-deepwater exploration demanding innovative solutions. With support from Aker Solutions, Fincantieri has produced a rig design that provides solutions to both these needs”.
