Deepsea Stavanger get in the news a lot these days:
The rig Deepsea Stavanger has anchored outside Brandal on Monday. The huge construction will be lying down until Wednesday, and will then move on to Haltenbanken.

Operations manager for the rigs in Odfjell Drilling, Lars Morten Tveit, says that the reason for the location of the rig is quiet working conditions.
The rig will be lying sheltered from the weather for a short period. Some planned work must be carried out, where it is mainly heavy lifting that you must concentrate on. Shallow waters, such as in the Sulafjorden, are optimal for such work, Tveit tells Vikebladet Vestposten.
Exploration drilling on Haltenbanken
The planned maintenance will be carried out before the rig goes back into operation, on the Uer well on Haltenbanken.
It was a good fit to park the rig in the Sulafjorden, as we were able to carry out the work in a safe manner. On Wednesday, it will continue towards Haltenbanken, where it will go on exploratory drilling for Equinor.
The rig was built at the DSME shipyard in South Korea, and delivered to Odfjell Drilling in 2010. The rig can now go all the way down to 3,000 metres.

PS> I don’t think it is actually “anchored”, more likely just sitting on DP.
