Noble George Sauvegeau

The Noble George Sauvageau is a jack-up drilling rig, originally built in 1981. As a replacement for the old 1,000,000 lbs drilling derrick, SMST built and delivered a new and larger 1,300,000 lbs drilling derrick, including pipe-handling equipment control cabin and hydraulic power pack. This project was executed in cooperation with Bailey.

The derrick van was designed and built at the SMST yard in Franeker, Netherlands and shipped in three pieces for installation on board the Noble George Sauvegeau. Because the derrick was completely outfitted, the installation on the drilling rig took only 16 days, saving the client a lot of valuable time.
