Swift Drilling B.V.
Krausstraat 14-16, Sliedrecht, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands

Swift Drilling BV is an innovative drilling contractor with an excellent safety record and operational performance. Swift Drilling BV is operating the highly automated Swift 10. The Swift 10 is a new light jack-up drilling rig concept that matches the shallow water conditions in the Southern North Sea and is suitable for drilling wells, work overs and well abandonments. 

Special focus is given to automated pipe handling and the easy handling of sub sea trees and well head protective structures. This has improved the safety on board by an enormous reduction in HSE exposures and in average about 40% less people on board. The average POB, including catering and operator personnel is around 50.

The four legged barge is easy to move and pre-loading is done in a few hours. It can easily handle a 30 mtr air gap and due to the X/Y cantilever design the majority of the production platforms in the SNS can be served. The maximum water depth should be 40 mtr although 45 mtr might be possible.
