Kulluk at Keppel Fels to repair Alaska exploration damage


Shell has brought the ice-class drilling barge Kulluk to Singapore-based Keppel Fels for repairs in preparation for the 2014 drilling season off Alaska.

The Shell-owned, 1983-built Kulluk was damaged after running aground during the 2012 exploration drilling campaign off Alaska.

The Anglo-Dutch supermajor confirmed the drilling unit had arrived at Keppel and was preparing to enter drydock for repairs.

“Once secured in drydock, a scope of work will be assigned to the Kulluk as well as a timeline associated with that work,” a Shell spokesman said. The supermajor declined to disclose a schedule for repairs.
