Project Management & Technical Support

Structured Planning and Technical Coordination from Project Definition to Handover

INSPERA provides drilling rig project management support for Special Periodic Surveys (SPS), rig upgrades, reactivation, major modifications, and shipyard projects.

We help clients define project requirements, coordinate technical activities, and maintain visibility over progress, costs, quality, and safety. Our approach connects planning with field execution to support timely decisions and a controlled transition through commissioning and handover.

Our solutions scope includes:

• Special Periodic Survey (SPS) planning and coordination
• Rig upgrades, refurbishment, and major modifications
• Rig reactivation and operational readiness support
• Shipyard work planning and execution oversight
• Project scheduling, progress monitoring, and cost tracking
• Contractor, vendor, and technical interface coordination
• Quality, inspection, and QHSE coordination
• Commissioning, closeout, and handover support

Our services may include:

• Review of rig condition, survey findings, and project objectives
• Development and review of work scopes and technical specifications
• Preparation of work breakdown structures, schedules, and project milestones
• Identification of critical activities, dependencies, and long-lead materials
• Support for budget preparation, procurement planning, and resource allocation
• Coordination between rig teams, shipyards, contractors, OEMs, and classification representatives
• Monitoring of work progress, constraints, variations, and recovery actions
• Coordination of inspection plans, testing activities, and technical documentation
• Tracking of punch lists, outstanding work, and corrective action closeout
• Preparation of progress reports, completion records, and handover packages

Project Planning & Control

We establish a practical project framework with defined responsibilities, deliverables, and reporting arrangements. Schedules reflect the sequence of work, access requirements, procurement needs, and inspection hold points, helping teams identify constraints before they affect execution.

During the project, we track progress against agreed milestones, highlight emerging risks, and support decisions on priorities and corrective measures. Changes to scope, schedule, and cost are documented for client review and approval.

Technical Oversight & Safe Execution

INSPERA supports coordination across marine, structural, mechanical, electrical, and safety-related work scopes. We help align technical requirements, contractor interfaces, and inspection activities with the agreed project plan.

QHSE coordination may include review of project risk assessments, simultaneous operations, shipyard bridging arrangements, and readiness for critical activities, within the assigned responsibilities and client procedures.

Commissioning & Handover

We support the planning and coordination of functional testing, commissioning, and completion reviews. Handover activities focus on verified work completion, documented test results, outstanding item tracking, and the availability of required operating and maintenance records.

Clear Reporting and Practical Deliverables

Deliverables may include project execution plans, work scopes, schedules, procurement trackers, progress reports, risk and action registers, cost summaries, punch lists, and handover documentation. Each assignment is tailored to the rig, project phase, and agreed level of management support.
