The skipper must have heard me, she is now heading for Wilhelmshaven @14.5 knots draught 10.5m.

N.O. still showing destination Lancaster Oil Field, it's a wonder other vessels are not on the VHF telling the skipper he's going the wrong way.

Navion Oceania has left AM assuming destination Rotterdam.

Rem Trader just left the port side of the TOL.
Navion Ocean still hooked up to AM.
Wind northerly 22 knots

Rem Trader now alongside TOL.

We are on only 50 days into the drill are we expecting too much too soon.

Thanks for your reply, just trying to work out what was so urgently needed for the two vessels to be away from the rig and in port at the same time.

It would have to be a long flex the N.O. is still 3.4 nm to the SW of the A.M.

Another question, hope it doesn't cause any controversy.
How is the mud carried out to the Rig does the supply vessel have a tank, or are they shipped in containers?
The reason I ask is, the quay where the Rem Trader was berthed yesterday had a number of black boxes or containers, this morning it is MT.

Weather fine WOS, wind 12kn'ts, the height of waves 3m, the height of swell 3m, all systems go.

Thanks for your explanation, but you might as well have been typing in Swaheelee it was all above my head.

Cheers Alfa, another question if you don't mind.
Is it common practice for the two offshore supply vessels to be in port away from the Rig at the same time. Or is it that the requirements are just to much for one vessel to handle?

When does the actual mud losses take place, while drilling the horizontal through the fractures, or when the drilling string is removed?

KGB now berthed ahead of RT at Waterloo Quay, to make up the mud losses maybe.

Sorry for the DP
One conciliation is they have chosen the bigger vessel of the two.

Navian Oceania
Tug in attendance and Pilot Vessel on the way out to the anchorage.

Rem Trader still alongside Waterloo Quay Aberdeen.
Grampian Sovereign off Collieston, destination shelter, must be expecting gales.
KBJ still on passage to Aberdeen.

It is a very important point you make regarding long shut-in periods in Q4.
I would be grateful if you could provide the link, as I have read through the interims and the last presentation and can't find anything regarding the above.
In fact,DrT seems to indicate that any lost downtime can be made up with the extra flow capacity they have at the wellheads.
Thanks in advance.

KBJ
Change of destination now heading for Aberdeen at 9.1knots.
