Rig Acceptance Testing

Our Rig Acceptance Testing (RAT) program is designed to address conditions or concerns identified through verification activities. We understand the importance of safety and adherence to regulations in the oil and gas industry. Therefore, our approach to RAT is to provide you with the confidence that your drilling contractor's activities align with the highest industry standards.

Here's how our Rig Acceptance Testing program works:

Identification of Subjects: Our team works closely with you to identify the key subjects for the Rig Acceptance Testing. This is based on our comprehensive understanding of the specific drilling operation, regulatory requirements, and contractual obligations.

Test Procedure and Acceptance Criteria: Once the subjects for the testing are determined, we prepare a detailed test procedure. This procedure includes defined acceptance criteria that are aligned with industry regulations, such as those set by the Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA) and the Norwegian Maritime Authority (NMA), as well as respected Class standards like DNV, ABS, and Lloyds.

Verification of Status: The primary aim of our Rig Acceptance Testing is to verify the current status of the drilling contractor's activities. Our thorough approach ensures that every aspect is examined, from technical specifications to operational standards.

Compliance and Safety: The safety of your operations is non-negotiable. Our Rig Acceptance Testing program ensures that every drilling activity aligns seamlessly with the regulatory requirements, governing documentation, and contractual commitments.

Technical and Operational Compliance: The testing process also verifies technical and operational compliance. This includes validating that all equipment and systems meet the necessary performance criteria, contributing to an efficient drilling operation.


At VTC Offshore, we recognize that testing is the key to the success of your drilling operations. Our team of experts are committed to providing you with confidence in your drilling contractor's capabilities and practices. With our Rig Acceptance Testing program, you can be assured that your operations are in line with the best practices of the industry, protecting your assets, personnel, and the environment.
