The Latch Master

Apr 13, 2018 | STORIES |

Here is a video we have posted in the past & wanted to show you this guy again. The video is called The Latch Master & is from the semi submersible Ocean Valiant.

This rig is rated for 6,000 foot depths / 1000 fathoms. Drill up to depths of 30,000 feet & is found in the North Sea.

Derrick is 185′ x 40′ x 40′; Capacity: 1,500,000 lbs. Not a bad size at all.

Infield Rigs has some specs on this guy which can be found below:

Ocean Valiant specs

Check out this photo from January 29th in the westernmost North Sea as a Hurricane Force low was rapidly developing in the northeast Atlantic, producing waves of 10 to 12 meters.

The photo was taken from the Solan platform located in UK waters west of Shetland at the Premier-operated Solan field and the rig you’re looking at is Diamond Offshore’s Ocean Valiant, an 8-point moored drilling platform.

This video on You Tube has generated nearly 140,000 views & rightly so as this is something you don’t see everyday.

Think you could handle working up the stick on this bad boy? Take a look at this video & don’t forget to comment below!
