Drilling RIGS in GUYANA Suriname - Deepwater Behemoths

Since 2015, the Guyana-Suriname region has become the hottest area on the planet for oil & gas exploration. Here we take a look at the drilling rigs working in the region. We have once again got expert help from Colin Higgins to help us understand some of the complexities of drilling. Today we discuss the 12 rigs drilling in the region, briefly explain dual derrick rigs and take a look at how some of these rigs are drilling in ultra-deep water! Our thanks go to Colin for lending his time and expertise for this video! We had a great time making it and Colin will be back on our channel soon for Part 2! Subscribe to make sure you don't miss our deep-dive into the technical aspects of 1 of these drilling rigs. The video looks at the 12 rigs - 9 drillship and 3 semi-submersibles by companies including Noble Drilling, Stena & Transocean.
