When making the selection between floating vessels (drillships or semi-submersibles), the operator should consider the amount of down time that a particular rig will spend waiting on weather. This article presents a method to evaluate various rigs and determine overall rig cost based on analysis of work categories as affected by weather. The net result shows that the rig with the lowest day rate may not always be the most economical and efficient to use.
