DOPNET

Our patented DOPNET Dropped Object Protection system is designed to catch and slow down falling objects. For example, when loading drill strings via the Eagle crane on the drilling tower. The DOPNET system will enhance safety by creating a barrier over critical areas on the drilling tower/pipe deck and sliding deck. The DOPNET system is a one-time installation and will follow the drilling tower once installed This makes it highly cost-effective due to minimal handling time

How does it work?

 

Dropped Object Protection

The DOPNET system features a hydraulically driven drum that keeps the net in “constant tension”. The drum is mounted between skid beams, allowing the entire net to follow the drilling tower when skidding both north-south and east-west. The drum and the attachment on the main beam are equipped with brake elements that will extend/tear under load. This reduces the impact force applied to the net and structural components. The brake elements are maintenance-free. The net is designed to catch and slow down a drill pipe dropped from the least favorable position of the Eagle crane. This reduces the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment and structures below, such as hydrocarbon-carrying pipes. Currently in use on Gullfaks C and early 2023 on Gullfaks B.
