The situation
  • 69 signals scanned from 26 sources. 21 companies remain in scope and 2 cross the hot threshold.
  • Noble leads the drilling contractors this week, and OKEA leads the operators.
Strategic insights
  • Jack-up inspection work clusters around location moves, which are scheduled at short notice.
  • A lean procurement organisation: decisions sit with a small number of people.
Recommended path forward
  • Offer a leg and spudcan inspection package timed to the next rig move.
  • Book a meeting with OKEA's operations lead to present a life-extension integrity study for Brage.
