🔍 Key Concepts

• Behavior of windward vs leeward anchors in heavy weather • How changing tension or scope (chain paid out) affects unit position and load sharing • Objective: reduce windward tensions while minimizing offset from the well

💭 Think About

• If you change tension on the leeward anchors, what happens to the unit’s position relative to the wind and the well? Does it move toward or away from the wind? • If you pay out more chain on the windward side, what happens to both the tension in those lines and the offset of the rig relative to the well? • Which actions actually share load better between the anchor legs, and which actions increase the load on the already overloaded windward legs?

✅ Before You Answer

• For each option, sketch the rig, wind direction, windward and leeward anchors, and show which way the rig will move if that action is taken. • Ask: Does this option both reduce windward tensions AND keep the rig close to the well, or does it trade one objective against the other? • Eliminate any choice that primarily addresses emergency escape or towing, rather than anchor load sharing and station keeping.
