On Oct 28th, 2020, Saipem S.p.A. said Revenues for the first nine months of 2020 amounted to €234 million, down 37.9% compared to the corresponding period of 2019, due mainly to the drillship S10000, which underwent class reinstatement works, and the semi-submersible rigs Scarabeo 7, Scarabeo 8 and Scarabeo 9, which were idle; the decrease was partly compensated by greater revenues from the full activity of the semi-submersible rig Scarabeo 5, which was idle in the corresponding period of 2019, and the jack up Sea Lion 7 which started working at the beginning of 2020.
At June 2020, the Saipem Offshore Drilling fleet consisted of thirteen vessels, divided as follows: five ultra-deep water units for operations at depths in excess of 3,300 feet (the drillships Saipem 10000 and Saipem 12000 and the semi-submersible drilling rigs Scarabeo 5, Scarabeo 8 and Scarabeo 9), five high specification jack-ups for operations at depths of up to 375 feet (Perro Negro 7, Perro Negro 8, Pioneer, Sea Lion 7 and Perro Negro 9), two standard jack-ups for activities at depths up to 300 feet (Perro Negro 4 and Perro Negro 5), and one barge tender rig (Saipem TAD). All these vessels are self-owned, with the exception of the Pioneer, Sea Lion 7 and Perro Negro 9 jack-ups, owned by third parties and leased and operated by Saipem.
The exceptional circumstances in the first half of the year, arising from a significant drop in the oil price and the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, have led to a change in the market scenario. For these reasons, the semi-submersible Scarabeo 7 and the barge tender assisted rig (Saipem TAD), which were expected to potentially benefit from a gradual recovery in the pre-shock market scenario, were fully impaired and will be decommissioned in the second half of the year, together with the Perro Negro 2 jack-up, which was fully impaired in 2016. During the half year, the Offshore Drilling fleet operated in Norway, Egypt (both in the Mediterranean and the Red Sea), Angola, Mozambique, Mexico and the Middle East.

Operational functions: The Scarabeo 5, based on Maritime Engineering design, is built as a column stabilized semisubmersible drilling vessel for world-wide operations and for harsh environments. The main operational functions of the vessel are: 1. Exploratory drilling: thruster assisted mooring from 75 to 900 m w.d. dynamic positioned mode up to 2,000 m w.d. 2. Production drilling as per 1 above. 3. Designed for an easy conversion into an early production and extensive well testing unit (as per 1 above). Scarabeo 5 has been conceived to cope with all main foreseeable future drilling/ production tasks. Very costly options, such as complete winterisation, have not been incorporated, but the necessary structural provisions have been made to convert the unit, if required.
Rules and regulations: The Scarabeo 5 complies with all the latest rules and regulations. The unit is registered in Italy and, in addition to the Italian regulations, complies also with: Norwegian, Canadian, British and U.S. regulations.
Hull and structure: A simple basic structure, with minimum wind and current resistance and smooth surfaces of the upper hull to prevent build-up of ice, no vertical bracings to avoid icing and to facilitate possible entrance of barges betvween the columns to bring in heavy templates to be installed on the-seabed by the rig itself. No single main strength member, so that the reduction in strength of one single member will not be critical to the whole rig. All these features are intended to enhance the reliability and efficiency of the unit.
System: The rig systems are made with a high degree of redundancy. Systems have power supplies from redundant subsystems and may be controlled from alternative control stations. This arrangement reduces the possibility of total blackout and improves operability under emergency. All piping, such as cooling water, fuel oil, ballast, service air are, as far as possible, routed clear of hazardous areas. Quality Assurance/Quality Control has been implemented throughout the design and the construction phases.
Accommodation: The accommodation module is made with structural fire protection according to the rules for units involved in oil production. This module has been designed as a “safe haven”, well protected from main risk areas and with sheltered escape ways to the meeting points for abandonment.
Position keeping: The platform is kept in position by eight anchors and eight thrusters. The dynamic positioning control system simulates continuously possible failures in the anchor/thruster systems in order to display the consequences of any failure to the position of the rig and the remedial options available.
8 thrusters, full power: 2.5 m/s sea current & 19 m/s wind (5 knots & 38 knots) 2.25 m/s sea current & 27 m/s wind (4.5 knots & 54 knots) 2.0 m/s sea current & 32 m/s wind (4 knots & 64 knots)
Case 2 (losing of 1 corner): 2.25 m/s sea current & 10 m/s wind (4.5 knots & 20 knots) 2.0 m/s sea current & 20 m/s wind (4 knots & 40 knots)
Case 5 (worst failure case): 2.0 m/s sea current & 10 m/s wind (4 knots & 20 knots) 1.5 m/s sea current & 26 m/s wind (3 knots & 52 knots)
Automation and rig management: The automation, control and management system is an integrated system based on computers. The system is connected to over 6,000 points in order to perform the following main functions: • Automatic power management • Fluid management, including stability calculation and ballast control • Rig management, drilling, logistics and safety • Environmental data monitoring • Communication via data highways.
Ballast system: A failure mode and effect analysis and a combination of a fault tree analysis have been performed for the ballast
system in order to: • clarify all possible failures for combination of failures that may put the ballast system out of operation • prove that no single failure will put the system out • identify the most critical failure events (events chains) • present a summary of the critical events. The ballast system is designed to upright the rig within 2 hours in the event of major damage. There are 8 self-priming ballast pumps installed in 8 watertight compartments.
Power distribution: The main electrical system is built as a dual radial system, with four different voltage levels. “Dual system” means that it may be regarded as two completely independent systems, each powering 50% of the total capacity. The electrical main system is powered by 8 dieseldriven generators having a capacity of 4,800 KVA, 6,000 V, 60 Hz. each.
Drilling: The drilling design-criteria enable the rig to drill up to 9,000 m in water depth up to 2,000 m. The drilling equipment is the latest state-of-the-art with semi-automatic drill pipe and casing handling. The large pipe rack area is suitable for storage and handling of 63 ft long riser joints.
Safety: The rig is designed for maximum efficiency and safety. All the latest requirements have been taken into account. The unit is able to work with the loss of anyone of the bracings and have sufficient stability to withstand loss of anyone of the columns or 2 damaged compartments. The design of the main hull has been made in such a way that escape ways within the working area and living quarters will not be affected.
The Scarabeo 5 is made to incorporate all experiences gained from previous semisubmersible designs and the unit is developed to meet the most stringent requirements for world-wide drilling operations. The “functional availability” has been the leading basic design criterion so that all components, system and subsystems (electrical, mechanical, hydraulic) are considered and integrated in view of their specific, minimum vital contributions to any and all critical functions “available” to the unit. In other terms it is useless, and at times hazardous, to have, as in many P.C.D.A. applications, a hypertrophy of the computer components not matched by a comparable fault-tolerance of power, mechanical and hydraulic systems, equally essential to perform any action under computer control especially in emergency.
