InterMoor has anchored a mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU) and preset anchors for a tender assist drilling (TAD) vessel for Cabinda Gulf Oil Company Ltd. (CABGOC) offshore Angola, announced InterMoor President Tom Fulton.
InterMoor provided design, engineering, procurement and installation services for the permanent preset moorings at the Tombua Landana location and the Tombua South drill center. The company also handled the fabrication of a 60-foot suction follower and various installation aids that were required for the installation of suction-embedded plate anchors (SEPLA) at the Tombua Landana location.
Eight mooring anchors were installed at both of the locations. At the Tombua Landana location, installation of the eight SEPLA anchors at a water depth of 1,250 feet began Oct. 28 and was completed by Nov. 5. On average, it took just more than a day per anchor to complete the installation.
