Recently, the maintenance project for the “Ocean Oil 923” jack-up drilling rig, undertaken by Shandong Xinhong Heavy Industry, was successfully completed. On June 12, 2026, the rig departed the shipyard on schedule, delivered five days ahead of the contracted deadline, once again underscoring the company’s robust expertise in offshore platform repair.
The project has a total contract duration of 50 days, with maintenance scope encompassing more than ten key tasks, including hull structure inspection and repair, area‑specific painting, piping system upkeep, equipment testing, erection of high‑altitude scaffolding, vibration screen modification, and removal of overhead pipelines. Faced with multiple challenges—such as the platform’s unique structural configuration, extensive high‑altitude work, deep cross‑disciplinary integration among diverse trades, and exceptionally stringent safety and quality control standards—the single‑vessel management team leveraged professional, meticulous management and technological innovation as twin engines. By convening numerous review meetings, they continuously refined construction procedures around the core projects, clearly defined each milestone, and coordinated human, material, and technical resources. Throughout the entire process, they rigorously upheld safety protocols and maintained strict quality controls, successfully transforming this complex undertaking into a highly efficient, collaboratively aligned operational system.
During the construction phase, the single‑vessel management team successively overcame a series of technical challenges, including cable‑laying operations on irregularly shaped platforms, the erection of 56‑meter‑tall scaffolding, the removal of 94‑meter‑high overhead pipelines, and the comprehensive overhaul of vibrating screens. Working side by side with frontline construction crews around the clock in seamless collaboration, they delivered the project to the highest standards within an extremely tight schedule, earning high praise from the client, CNOOC Services.
This successful contract fulfillment is a testament to the company’s deep technical expertise and robust engineering capabilities in the field of offshore platform repair. Looking ahead, the company will continue to deepen its presence in the offshore‑equipment repair market, delivering ever more refined craftsmanship, more efficient services, and more reliable performance—writing, through practical execution and uncompromising quality, a new chapter for XinHong in the offshore‑maintenance sector.
