The work is scheduled to start in Q3 2019 and delivery is expected in 2021.

Drillship Upgrade With Diamond Offshore

The second contract is between Keppel FELS and Diamond Offshore for the upgrade of the semi-submersible drilling rig Ocean Onyx. Diamond Offshore and Keppel FELS have collaborated on more than 12 projects since 2005.

The scope of work for Keppel FELS on the semi-submersible platform includes engineering, manufacturing, and installation of new pontoons, columns, braces, and a wing deck. The Ocean Onyx was first upgraded in 2012 by Keppel AmFELS, Keppel O & M’s yard in the U.S., from an older semi-submersible platform.

Scheduled for delivery in Q2 2019, the Ocean Onyx will initially be deployed offshore Australia. As previously reported, the Ocean Onyx was contracted by Beach Energy for drilling in the Otway Basin off the coast of Victoria. The first well to be drilled in Beach’s Otway program will be the Artisan gas exploration well, located in licence VIC / P43.

Karl Sellers, Senior Vice President – Technical Services at Diamond Offshore said: “Keppel FELS has proven to be a reliable partner for our equipment repairs and upgrades over the years, and we are pleased to work with them again on the upgrade of the Ocean Onyx.”

China has been trying for 13 years to build a railway in the Gobi Desert to reach Mongolia, and there are still 20 kilometers left that no one can finish due to a problem that seems impossible to solve.

For 45 years, Spain and Morocco have been trying to connect Europe to Africa through a project of just 14 kilometers in the Strait of Gibraltar, and an active tectonic fault on the seabed continues to make the project nearly impossible.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

The 8-meter robot submarine that reaches 6,000 meters in depth: Dive-XL will be used by the U.S. Navy to launch underwater drones on a large scale.

Mongol ship sunk 745 years ago emerges in excavations with sword, arrows, and relics from the 1281 invasion of Japan, destroyed by the first “kamikaze” in history.

Neither the USA nor China: a small European nation has become one of the largest maritime powers on the planet, controlling one of the largest merchant fleets in the world with thousands of ships and dominating the global transportation of oil and strategic cargo.

Archaeologists find a colossal 2,000-year-old vessel at the bottom of the sea near Alexandria linked to the elite of Egypt and reveal a pleasure barge from the last dynasty of the pharaohs that the sea has hidden for centuries.

Brazil develops a 50-meter boat capable of producing its own fuel at sea by transforming water into green hydrogen through electrolysis; this unprecedented project seeks energy autonomy and could redefine naval propulsion.

United Kingdom clears 40 tons of shells and concrete into the sea in an innovative project that promises to restore a marine ecosystem lost for over 200 years and improve water quality.

Alert in the electric sector: excess solar energy triggers overload in the Brazilian electrical system, forces the operator to shut down power plants, and exposes an unexpected risk that could affect stability and energy costs.
