ARCTIC DRILL BARGE PROPOSED FOR BEAUFORT SEA
The Arctic Drill Barge (ADB), a new concept which is designed specifically for shallow-water arctic areas, is described. The slope-sided, heated hull is designed to take all expected ice loads within the barrier islands. The ADB is an attractive alternative to other methods such as gravel islands because of its mobility, ease of restoring the site to its original condition, and less expense when used for several wells.
