Offshore Operations. End-To-End.

From rig operations to capital projects and asset programmes, we apply Tier-1 governance to keep assets safe, compliant and on contract.

Project Management

Project leadership for rig upgrades, newbuild commissioning, reactivations, and capital projects, with rigorous schedule control, risk management, and stakeholder alignment. We take projects from initiation through close-out with the planning, controls and interface discipline that protect schedule, budget and quality.

Rig Inspection and Technical Surveys

Independent condition assessments, acceptance and pre-purchase inspections, and SPS / class-recertification readiness surveys across drillships, semis and jack-ups.

Rig Operations Management on Behalf of Owners

Full operational management of MODUs on behalf of their owners (manning, maintenance, drilling operations, HSE, class and regulatory compliance and performance), delivered with Tier-1 governance. Sonat Offshore acts as the owner’s operating arm, combining frontline offshore leadership with rigorous management systems, controls and reporting. This is the foundation of our path to owning and operating our own fleet.
