historians have warned the country is now split just like on the eve of the civil war, which the

states experienced 150 years ago this year it is expected to enter the kara sea for the first time. and this ship neptune will also be towing it. twenty nautical miles from the fishing port of the capital of the arctic, it is also called murmansk although on the water, but quite monumental is

a floating drilling rig, a picturesque route to it through a slippery bay on the way of amazingly beautiful nature of the hills, sometimes exposed rocks, many ships in the roadstead, civil and warships are gigantic and the slower speed in the port area is not higher than seven knots, so enjoy surrounded by time to eat on one of the dogs over the murmansk society. this is a memorial than the defender of the soviet fall during the great patriotic war. from the port to the drilling rig 2 hours along the kola bay supplies that we are transporting there, and now at the moment we are importing products from a semi-submersible drilling rig. the northern lights can be seen from afar , this is the kola bay of the murmansk region here. installation northern lights, here it is a beauty of 128 m in height, this upper point of 30,000 tons weighing even a

little more, she is waiting for her exit to work directly in the kara sea. this is the nearest platform wintering here, although it is already the beginning of the last month of summer. work in the arctic begins only now will continue too the short season when the ice is not threatened, the installations are quite short. fields up to 2 m thick are found. this field is melting and is actively being destroyed, because the temperature rises every day. e, the installation of satellite buoys is being monitored, which show the movement of fields and their destruction, namely the monitoring of ice fields and allows you to determine the timing of work at sea. at the time of our first visit to the northern lights back in mid-july, ppbu. just getting ready to ship, then we brought the products for this length expedition and made several discoveries for themselves, but while we were walking on a towing vessel, there was a feeling that, well, this is such a monumental ah-a technique, however, when we

approached only this floating platform. everything immediately falls into place. and it's clear that size certainly wins. how to get on it, if we have a rather large difference in height, we can’t throw it, no way, no ladder, therefore, with the help of this crane, we will then climb, but first of all, of course, this safety equipment must be put on life jacket straps. so we'll definitely tighten everything up. what is the height of the high 20-25 meters climbed a special basket in professional language. it is called frog designed for six people. but in this particular case, this is the height. we have 20, 25 meters, as they say? as if a platform has landed on the moon, a whole city on the water of 128 crew members, there is to live here, where on four floors. it is a floating semi submersible

platform. there are several floors with sleeping cabins and a dining room. and by the way, very delicious food. today, both had cutlets, soups , and a lot of other things to choose from. well, even here there is to get, for example, and work. here you are unlikely to be late, of course, there is something to do , which in the machines of the power department, the drilling platform is provided by six sixteen-valve diesel engines of such incredible sizes, just think of 7.5 thousand horsepower, each with a converted energy. here in these generators of 5,000 kw each, the main function of the installation is to drill the principle that the main difference is that it is floating and self-propelled, and

there are practically no differences between the drilling equipment restored on this drilling rig, with the exception of a compensator installed on the trunk, which compensates for vibrations from of the sea, since the platform, which is floating like when you are drilling, does not rotate around itself, our rig has four thrusters, and they compensate for these movements, in addition to the thrusters at each corner, given that we have a drilling rig, as it were is a rectangle, at each corner of this rectangle, two anchors are anchor lines that scatter after the post. hello this is a five-meter propeller steering column with the help of a platform and can move by itself, but you. her business on the high seas, responsible requires special preparation and security at the time of movement. the unit is in fact in full working configuration, all equipment on board in duplicate, so that you do not have to

deliver all the units. set up before starting drilling. you just need to reach the place, choose the desired position, go deeper with the help of a balaster. unfold and tighten all eight anchors, each weight together with a 320 t chain, so you can practically not worry about a stationary position on the water. and if there is pitching, then a special mechanism during drilling will level out deviations. it will be, of course, not into the ground. we are in a floating submersible drilling rig. this means that this mark and even empty space is from the surface to the water itself, and this is 25-30 meters uh depending on displacement. and also the water power directly 500 meters thick before, uh, well, there the rod takes to the bottom and starts smoking. but before drilling, special anti-high equipment will be installed. this

design is the one, the very air defense anti-blowout equipment weighs 316 tons and is placed directly on the bottom to the base instead of drilling, in fact, it has the function of a kind of shut-off valve, which, if necessary, can close all existing hydraulics and protect this very well. each mechanism is controlled remotely. forms hydraulic accumulators air defense control station with the help of them is supplied with a working fluid to control all functions, anti-blowout, equipment of which the parties. find wells. here are hydraulic control and measuring devices. with their help , you can quickly seal. uh, the mouth of the well and in front of the otitis media there is an open fountain. next, we go inside the air defense control panel, that is, there are also hydraulic distributors , air receivers, regulators, which e

adjust pressure to control functions, and anti-blowout equipment. also presented here are, uh, flowmeters. and uh hydraulic valves pneumatic regulators, protecting the environment and guaranteeing its safety, without which no work on the water and even more so deep under its thickness on the shelf will not be located here on the equipment that is used to clean the drilling fluid enters the sieve the solution passes through the mesh, and the selected rock falls off, then it is sent ashore by ships, there already, uh, dispose of it in the reception room. from the tank , mud pumps are again fed into the well for the captain of the northern lights, andrey brazhny, this arctic crossing is not the first month by the platform.

for 10 years at the beginning, our elves worked in the sakhalin region. 2 years ago, the installation was moved here. last season. she has already worked in the kara sea, explored deposits in drilling one well this season, the second, and the goals are more ambitious two wells in our russia there are only two such platforms in the world, there are no more than two dozen, when it’s already mass production. yes, when a deposit is already explored, there is a stationary platform, which, uh, is permanently installed on the ground. well, we can build a mobile platform, like production wells, and the reconnaissance movement of the platform is carried out from one birthplace to another, from one point of the world ocean to another, it wants to be installed and self-propelled to deliver to the place of deployment, the northern autumn one will have to be tugboats in the park so doubly safer in this sea. at this stage, the connection of towing ships in kazan explorer and neptune to the semi-submersible

drilling rig northern lights then, as part of a caravan, move to the drilling site, and in the kara sea they have to go about 700-80 nautical miles, bypassing kolguev island, the kara strait , even partially along the trajectory of the northern in addition, this caravan will be accompanied by the bakhtimer rescue ship and the murman icebreaker. in place, when work starts, a number of instrument exercises are to be carried out annually, complex exercises are carried out, consisting of two main stages, the elimination of an emergency oil spill and ensuring ice operations management within the framework of the first stage, as a rule, three exercises are carried out. this is an oil spill response. the man overboard, as well as the rig fire , is the beginning of a big seven-day

journey of the platform and two of its tugs a month. they will travel about one and a half thousand kilometers. speed of 4 knots. and this is about 7 km / h. the speed of an intensive step, but a person is 1,500 km. can't get through without stopping. this is what the caravan will be able to do, this has already been proven last year. then i 'll remind you. they drilled two wells, one aurora borealis, another self-elevating floating drilling rig , the arctic one can work only in the area where it becomes a foothold on the bottom, based on the data obtained, experts calculate hydrocarbon reserves, the main potential, which, in terms of discovery, and large deposits of oil and gas now e are on arkeke. here but uh why? because, uh, russian first-aid kits, the shelf is, in fact, a continuation of the surface under water. and these are the same, uh products,

productive formations at gazprom already, uh, they have been actively engaged in the shelf for more than 14 years. here are parts of business exploration and every year, uh, a lot of discoveries receive a significant increase. especially these are the six kara seas, the barents sea of ​​the pechora sea, well, the prospect, probably, and the east siberian seas, that is, it is already there towards the far east since 2017 on eight appraisal and exploratory wells have been drilled on the kara sea shelf, they are not being exploited, while they are still establishing what lies under our territory has already received significant increases in industrial gas reserves . but before these reserves begin to be extracted, several important issues need to be resolved. for example, if you place equipment at the bottom with insufficient depth, then it can simply be cut off like a thread with a knife by a huge iceberg for deeper placement. at the bottom you need equipment that can work no service. not a single decade of such

technology has been used in space and here on the arctic shelf. they are best suited to the tool park that we use for downhole work. we produce power ourselves in russia , and we also have our own production, we are part of the equipment. we can produce ourselves. uh, partner companies have retained, which are still of their own capacity and which develop them on their own base. we buy a lot of equipment from them in terms of volumes and results of geological exploration of the subsoil for more than 10 years, gazprom has been a leader among russian subsoil users on the arctic continental shelf, successfully organizing offshore drilling and discovering large and unique hydrocarbon fields. the latest technologies, including digital ones, are being introduced on the russian shelf to improve efficiency. to obtain better data and optimize production processes.
