COVER STORY<br />
Singaporeʼs Largest Jack-up West Elara Bound for<br />
West Elara – the first of two ultra-large, high<br />
specification, harsh-environment jack-up rigs built<br />
by Sembcorp Marine’s subsidiary <strong>Jurong</strong> <strong>Shipyard</strong><br />
for North Atlantic Drilling, a subsidiary of Seadrill<br />
Limited – is poised to make rig building history in<br />
Singapore as the nation’s largest jack-up newbuild<br />
following its turnkey construction success and naming<br />
on <strong>Jun</strong>e 25, 2011.<br />
Classed among the biggest and most advanced jack-ups in the world,<br />
West Elara is built to meet the stringent Norwegian NORSOK standard<br />
for operations in the North Sea. The rig has secured a fi ve-year contract<br />
from leading energy company Statoil for deployment to the Norwegian<br />
Continental Shelf, an area which requires strict compliance to high<br />
standards of health, safety and environment.<br />
On completion, West Elara will be the largest and highest capability jackup<br />
to join Seadrill’s new and modern rig fl eet. The rig will be the sixth<br />
drilling unit constructed by <strong>Jurong</strong> <strong>Shipyard</strong> in Seadrill’s fl eet, following<br />
three Friede & Goldman (F&G) ultra-deepwater semi-submersibles (West<br />
Sirius and West Taurus delivered in 2008 as well as West Orion delivered<br />
in 2010), a Moss Maritime CS50 MK II semi-submersible (West Pegasus<br />
delivered in April 2011), and West Cressida (ex-PetroJack IV), a Pacifi c<br />
Class 375 jack-up rig acquired by Seadrill in 2010.<br />
Representing a major milestone for <strong>Jurong</strong> <strong>Shipyard</strong>, West Elara is the<br />
yard’s fi rst harsh-environment high-specifi cation jack-up newbuild and the<br />
largest of its kind to be constructed by the yard. The Gusto MSC CJ70<br />
150A design rig has the ability to drill to depths of 10,670 metres in water<br />
depths of up to 150 metres, with a higher variable deck load and a higher<br />
operating effi ciency compared to previous jack-up generations. The rig’s<br />
ultra-large size also allows for additional opportunities within areas like<br />
logistics, well testing and early production.<br />
The turnkey construction success of West Elara was commemorated<br />
during a rig naming ceremony at <strong>Jurong</strong> <strong>Shipyard</strong>, presided by Lady<br />
Sponsor Ms Grethe Stange, in the presence of key representatives from<br />
Seadrill and its subsidiary North Atlantic Drilling, rig charterer Statoil and<br />
<strong>Jurong</strong> <strong>Shipyard</strong>.<br />
West Elara will be the largest and most advanced jack-up for Seadrill.<br />
Mr Alf Thorkildsen, Chief Executive Offi cer and President of Seadrill<br />
Management, said: “At Seadrill, we have initiated and taken delivery of<br />
24 drilling units during the last fi ve years. Of these 24 units, fi ve drilling<br />
rigs have been delivered from <strong>Jurong</strong> and we have yet another fi ve units<br />
under construction at this yard. Our repeat orders of new units at <strong>Jurong</strong><br />
are to be regarded as a testimony to the quality drilling rigs delivered from<br />
this yard. This is certainly to be recognised as a sign of confi dence, and<br />
a strong commitment to this excellent yard. We are very pleased with<br />
<strong>Jurong</strong>’s performance and quality of work.”<br />
Mr Wong Weng Sun, President and CEO of Sembcorp Marine and<br />
Managing Director of <strong>Jurong</strong> <strong>Shipyard</strong>, said: “We are pleased to support<br />

Winning Safety Innovations<br />
In line with its continuing efforts to encourage employees to further innovate operational processes for<br />
quality, safety and productivity enhancements, <strong>Jurong</strong> <strong>Shipyard</strong> organised its 15th annual Workplace Safety<br />
and Health (WSH) Innovation Convention on <strong>Jun</strong>e 29, 2011.<br />
Themed “Our People, Our Innovation”, the event saw keen competition among the eight fi nalist teams which were chosen from 18 contenders in the two<br />
preliminary rounds. The winning innovations (refer to information below) were assessed based on their sustainability and practicality in achieving safety<br />
excellence and productivity gains.<br />
1st Prize: SPOT Team – “Hydraulic Cable Drum Jack”<br />
Driven by their pursuit for WSH excellence, the SPOT Team from <strong>Jurong</strong> Electrical Automation improved their current practice of jacking up a cable<br />
drum by using a Hydraulic Cable Drum Jack. Apart from offering portability and suitability for all sizes of cable drums, this innovative method also<br />
eliminates the ergonomic hazards due to manual lifting and reduces the strenuous conditions faced by workers.<br />
Current method using a conventional cable drum<br />
jack.<br />
More efficient and safer using the Hydraulic Cable<br />
Drum Jack.<br />
First prize winner - SPOT Team - with Mr Lee Yeok Hoon,<br />
<strong>Jurong</strong> <strong>Shipyard</strong>’s Executive Director.<br />
2nd Prize: HP 3 Team – “Duster”<br />
By focusing on overcoming health hazards and minimising environmental pollution during tank blasting operations, the HP 3 Team from Hull Painting<br />
came up with this innovative project to reduce the leakage of grit dust from tank openings. Instead of covering the tank openings with temporary<br />
canvas, the Duster is a portable but secure housing placed over the tank openings to effectively prevent dust particles from escaping. This new<br />
method cuts down on air and noise pollution while reducing the risks of slips, trips and falls from grit-covered surfaces. Work stoppages to fi x any<br />
leakage during tank blasting are also eliminated, potentially generating sizeable cost savings per year.<br />

HP 3 Team receiving second prize for its Duster project.<br />
3rd Prize: <strong>Dolphin</strong>s Team – “Dynamic Trolley”<br />
The <strong>Dolphin</strong>s Team from Machinery Fitting developed the Dynamic Trolley innovation as a more effective, simpler and safer method to assemble,<br />
install and lift the gear racks onto a trip saver, a component of the drilling equipment onboard a semi-submersible. The innovation improves effi ciency<br />
as it reduces the workload of the workers as well as the time taken to fi x the gear racks. A safer alternative, the device also signifi cantly reduces<br />
the risk of injuries and body strains as well as eliminates the need for additional loading on the hanging scaffolding.<br />
Current method to fix the gear racks.<br />

racks.<br />
Third prize goes to the <strong>Dolphin</strong>s Team for its Dynamic<br />
Trolley project.<br />
