In a special extended webcast, IADC managing editor Linda Hsieh tours the recently inaugurated MOSAIC II, Maersk’s offshore simulator training complex in Svendborg, Denmark. The 1,200-square-meter, US $10 million complex features a dome-based drilling simulator that offers a 180° side view and 90° vertical view, as well as pipe-handling and well control training capabilities. It is equipped to perform well control downhole simulations with 3D graphics. Other simulators either already installed at the facility or in the process of installation include a rig control room simulator, an engine room simulator and two crane simulators.
