Stena Drillmax Becomes First Drillship to Be Awarded DNV’s Abate (P) Notation

Monday, December 11, 2023

Stena Drilling announced that its Stena Drillmax is the first drillship to be awarded DNV’s abate(p) notation. Stena drilling has implemented several technical and operational measures to enable Stena Drillmax to substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The DNV (p) notation is a natural progression after Stena Drilling received ISO 50001 energy management system certification.

Stena DrillMAX is the first of the DrillMAX series vessels and is a harsh environment dynamically positioned DP Class 3 drillship capable of drilling in water depths up to 10,000ft.

To assist this industry’s energy transition Stena Drilling collaborated with DNV to develop a class rule for greenhouse gas abatement reflecting industry best practice for emission reduction. The oil and gas industry has acknowledged the ambitions in the Paris Agreement and the oil companies and owners of offshore units are setting net zero goals. The Abate notation is one step on this journey and provides recognition to Units meeting these goals.

DNV’s Abate(P) class notation represents not only ambitious emission reduction targets but also a comprehensive energy and emission management system aligned with ISO 50001 standards. It emphasizes rigorous monitoring of energy consumption and the implementation of both operational and technical measures to notably reduce emissions.
