70% to pass

The maximum combined drilling load for the COASTAL DRILLER consisting of the combined hook, rotary, setback, and conductor tension, shall not exceed _______________.

A 500 kips
B 1000 kips
C 450 kips
D 750 kips
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 1000 kips. The maximum combined drilling load for the COASTAL DRILLER, consisting of the combined hook, rotary, setback, and conductor tension, shall not exceed 1000 kips. This requirement is specified in the regulations governing the design and operation of the COASTAL DRILLER platform. The other options are incorrect because 500 kips (A) is too low, 450 kips (C) is too low, and 750 kips (D) is also too low compared to the actual maximum combined drilling load limit of 1000 kips.
