Hamidreza Saghafi, CEO of Drilling Company International, told Shana that the Rack Phase Difference (RPD) protection and control system to compensate for the weakness in the control and protection system of the drilling rigs was redesigned and upgraded by the company’s experts for the first time in Iran. The system has been installed on DCI-1 offshore rig and has been tested.

He continued: "The RPD control system allows offshore drilling rigs to have proper control over the forces applied to each side of the rig bases and significantly prevents damage to the bases."
