it's time for a very big shake up at nido, page-6

Great Post Oilman.

Should be compulsory reading for all NDO'ers.

Furthermore,

AD was just completed and from my understanding, T1 was her maiden drill.
She was delivered sep 09 and one would think it would take a couple of months minimum to fit her out and get her sea worthy and tested.

I wounder how experienced were her crew. The people pushing the levers and winching the winches, and drilling the drill bit, and mudding and spudding, and setting the bells and whistle (BOP) and cementing and grouting the sleaves etc etc etc.

Be'coz it took them twice as long to job it. It even took them months to do nothing.

Most people i know do nothing all the time, and it takes them no time at all to do it.

But Nido take months and probably years to do nothing.


I know there were lots of specialist on board, but was this crew up to the job as well, or did AD roll up to tindalo half baked, with only half her capabilities in tow, because Nido were in a rush. And the crew on board hadn't been given their run-down on this levre, and that gauge, and that winch etc etc etc.

It looks like it to me that Nido are not the only one not fully prepared.
There is no doubt she is new and very capable, but was she utilised to her fully capabilities.
