For someone claiming to be an Engineer, you are not doing very well here! Just study the two pictures posted on twitter on Monday. The first one, if you zoom in on the area of the drill floor, between the mast uprights, shows clear daylight through to the sky beyond, where the integral IR should be fitted, on a trolley carriage, running on a "C" channel Frame either side of the large flat plate you can see on the second picture, behind the drill string. There's no frame, no trolley and no Roughneck fitted where it would normally be housed. On the open mesh drill floor is the power tongs which have 2 box section feet, which when located onto the collar protruding from the cellar, will position the Tongs correctly to operate the connection or disconnection of the drill strings!
What is in place is certainly NOT what they indicated at SPUD - perhaps they started with the correct IR in place and it has been removed for some reason. Something they should have been telling us, if that is the case!
