21/02/2017 Jack­Up Collapses at Maersk­Operated Al Shaheen Field Off Qatar – gCaptain

A jack-up barge was badly damaged this week after it collapsed offshore Qatar at the Maersk
Oil-operated Al Shaheen 1eld in the Persian Gulf.

Gulf International Services said Tuesday that the accident occurred on July 5th and involved its
2014-delivered jack-up barge “Rumailah”. The accident has been described as “punch-through
incident”, which left the vessel tilting to one side and partially submerged.

Photos of the jack-up published by the Norwegian news website Aftenbladet.no show rig
partially submerged in water with several lifeboats surrounding vessel.

No injuries were reported.

The Rumailah is owned and operated by Gulf Drilling International, a subsidiary of Gulf
International Services (GIS) and the largest oil1eld service company in Qatar.

Maersk Oil has been operator of the Al Shaheen 1eld since 1992. In May, state-owned Qatar
Petroleum invited international oil companies to compete to operate and develop the 1eld
beyond mid-2017, when Maersk Oil’s current 25-year production sharing agreement with Qatar
Petroleum ends.

The oil1eld is located approximately 50 miles off Qatar’s coast and currently produces around
300,000 barrels per day, approximately 40% of Qatar’s daily oil production.

Repairs of the jack-up will take “several months”, according to media reports, and will take place
at the Nakilat yard in Qatar.
