HOUSTON, Aug. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Frank's
International N.V. (NYSE: FI) ("Frank's") today reminds customers
to prepare for Atlantic storm season on offshore rigs.
Storm season officially began on June
1 and runs through November
30, which is a season that brings heightened risk for all
offshore rig personnel annually. Frank's continues to reinforce its
own emergency planning efforts during this time and partners with
customers in their efforts to plan ahead and ensure that a storm
plan is prepared and activated. Preparations for temporary well
suspension are always critical, and plans frequently have to be
actioned at a moment's notice.
Over the years, weather conditions have been the cause of
billions of dollars in damage and repair costs. Securing the
wellbore safely and efficiently is key to preventing damage to rig
structures and equipment. The Frank's BRUTE® Storm System
provides safe and reliable operational flexibility and can remain
on standby until needed. This system, complete with the BRUTE®
Retrievable Service Packers, offers an extremely robust V3-rated
barrier system for ultimate dependability during the toughest
weather conditions. During previous storms, the BRUTE® Storm System
has effectively isolated wellbores, allowing for safe
disconnection, helping ensure the safety of rig personnel and the
environment as well as preserving the security of the well.
Customers are encouraged to learn more about the BRUTE® Storm
System's safe and reliable operational flexibility on the Frank's
website.
"As part of our commitment to best-in-class safety, Frank's has
taken several steps to prepare for the start of the Atlantic storm
season, and we encourage our customers to prepare as well," said
Thad Scott, Senior Vice President,
Marketing & Business Development of Frank's. "We are
continuously preparing and leveraging our technology so that we can
best serve our customers when they need us most. The storm season
can be unpredictable, so we urge customers to have an emergency
plan in place to keep their personnel, equipment, and the
environment safe."
"Everything we do at Frank's is driven by our mission to help
our customers operate more safely and efficiently," said
Michael Kearney, Chairman, President
and Chief Executive Officer. "Our customers operate in highly
dynamic environments, and we are proud to offer innovative
solutions that help them prepare for a wide range of scenarios,
including extreme weather."
