Jackup Safety: Q&A with ABS

"Our Technology Group, which is basically the research and development side of ABS are working on a study into the dynamic forces that a jackup experiences when it is going on location … We're working with Keppel FELS' engineering department on this study, and we'll share the results with everybody, including IADC [the International Association of Drilling Contractors] Committee if they are interested."

"There's going to be another workshop in March. I think the study will come out sometime before the end of this year."
