Deepwater Drilling rig systems CHALLENGE Several recent case studies demonstrate that applying Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) analysis to deepwater drilling rig systems improves equipment availability and reduces critical path downtime. This improvement ultimately saves operators money through increased control of spread costs and less potential impact to critical phases of their drilling program. RCM also can positively affect drilling contractors, and other third-party service providers, through additional revenue recovery, more efficient maintenance practices, optimized inventory levels, and mo
