"GS going offshore.. destination?"
Aberdeen Anchorage!
My, what an excitable bunch we are !

F22, - reading back over your post this last couple of weeks, I am convinced that you are a Slinky, one of a few Slinkies that regularly post on this BB
Looking at her plimsoll line she is very light.
GS had nothing on her back - clear 'cams' this morning, all 'goods' below...
Well, we should have an indication within 24-26 hours or so, as the Grampian Sovereign has just departed port.
Mind you, it has a low is how draft, so perhaps no mud on board.
Only time, and future track, will give any further indication.
As stated last night, without corroborative data it is likely that all and any presumptions are likely to have 2 + 2 = 5, but keeping a watchful eye on things is more entertaining than watching morning TV.
GS going offshore.. destination?
...next will be ‘rate’
" Mud " is the new. " rope "
HH,
"Having had a look of the past track of the Grampian Sovereign it is intriguing."
I don't think we'll be able to make any (very approximate) guesses until we see where the Grampian Sovereign heads for. If it's the TOL, yes, that becomes interesting. But if it's just back to the AM, people will have been getting their knickers in a twist over nothing.
Mr Toad,
" Of course the AM needs mud! To fill the mud gun magazines, ready to repel the giant squid."
Be careful what you say! The Am will not be equipped with things called 'mud guns', but the TO Leader certainly is, though they don't involve 'magazines'. They're installed in the 'mud pits', are supplied by centrifugal, pumps, and aid in 'shearing' the drilling fluid.
DC, like I stated, there is a lack of substantive information to make a balanced opinion on.
At the moment all we have to go on is berths/quays visited through the past track function, and that in isolation could have us ending up adding 2 + 2 together and getting 5 as a result.
Given that both are in port at the same time, it could be that one is in to discharge a system (reserve only, as the active system may well still be in the well) and tank clean, whilst the other vessel is collecting a new batch of mud.
Did the Edda Frende get chartered to take a new mud system out to the TOL ?
Did the Rem Trader accept the displaced (by a new mud system taken out on the Edda Frende) old mud system from the well for return onshore, and then to be tank cleaned prior to further use of its bulk tanks ?
Has the Grampian Sovereign picked up an additional quantity of mud for shooting up onto location with (perhaps due to a need to tank clean the Trader, which would delay its departure from port) ?
Far too many unanswered questions, and unless anyone has any corroborative evidence as to the recent load outs on the Edda Frende/Rem Trader/Grampian Sovereign we could postulate on a myriad of possible scenarios, and every one of them would be wrong.
Never the less, 3 vessels on at one time, with “potentially” the AM’s support vessel having visited a berth where mud can normally be taken on, is certainly sufficient for me to keep a closer eye on.
IMHO

Given that Rem Trader also happens to be in port why would they use GS to convey the mud in preference to RT?
Of course the AM needs mud! To fill the mud gun magazines, ready to repel the giant squid.
Damned autocorrect ......... “Rem Trader”, and “Edda Frende”.
Having had a look of the past track of the Grampian Sovereign it is intriguing.
During this port visit she has visited Waterloo Quay, as would be expected as that is the main berth (other than TMB on occasion) that it would visit when conducting cargo ops in support of the AM, but it has recently been sat on North Pocra, which has a line to it from MI Swaco’s mud tanks.
Just because it is the AM’s support vessel does not preclude it from also supporting the TOL.
It could merely be taking on MGO or water at Pocra, rather than mud, but that would appear illogical as it could have picked up those products during its visit to Waterloo Quay earlier, and from the looks of things they are not that busy at Waterloo Quay tonight that it needed to move to a lesser utilised Quay to take on either MGO or water so that it freed up Waterloo Quay for deck cargo ops on another vessel that required loading.
They wouldn’t normally utilise the below deck tanks on the GS to support the TOL unless there was a good reason to do so, as the vessels currently supporting the TOL (R.E.M. Trader as the dedicated vessel, with the Edda Fronde currently also providing ad hoc support assistance also) would have more than enough capacity between them.
So, to me that would indicate that there is either an unexpectedly high consumption (loss) rate being experienced, or, something may have gone awry with the current mud system properties (high LGS, or other specs gone out of whack that cannot readily be brought back into spec offshore by treatment, etc.) and they are requiring to change out the current mud system.
Personally, I would rather have seen the vessels visiting Peackocks on Point Law to take on brine, as that way that would be an indication that vast volumes of brine were being lost in the horizontal section in the reservoir due to a fantastic fracture matrix having been encountered.
All IMHO you understand, but for the moment insufficient validated information to give a clearer determination for the time being, but certainly enough going on to pique my interest and keep an eye on to see how it pans out over the next week or so.
*Low(er)
I don’t trust this particular poster although frankly he’s not posting anything of interest. I’m watching closely though. LC is low(we) risk than WD but that means nothing until solid info is received be that by rumour or via HUR comms direct. At this time I’m still in but not necessarily comfortable yet.
To muddy the waters
"GS ‘mudding’ up, should be full soon — then back to AM."
The AM needs mud?
FS22
what does AM need mud for??????
F22 do you actually know this to be fact, or are you stating an opinion or are you just ramping?
F22
The other day we had EF egg fryer today we have GS greasy sausages .well at least they are rotating the menu. But to much oil
GS ‘mudding’ up, should be full soon — then back to AM.
