<p>A system comprising: a drilling platform having an upper deck, a lower deck, and a central focus; a plurality of wellbay accesses located in the upper deck and positioned along a wellbay access perimeter surrounding the central focus, wherein each of the plurality of wellbay accesses is associated with a wellbay disposed between the upper deck and the lower deck; a drilling module; and a peripheral skidding system disposed on the upper deck and defining a skidding perimeter surrounding the central focus, wherein the peripheral skidding system is operable to align the drilling module with one or more of the plurality of wellbay accesses. A method comprising: providing a drilling platform having an upper deck, a lower deck, and a central focus; a plurality of wellbay accesses located in the upper deck and positioned along a wellbay access perimeter surrounding the central focus, wherein each of the plurality of wellbay accesses is associated with a wellbay substantially therebelow; providing a peripheral skidding system disposed on the upper deck and defining a skidding perimeter surrounding the central focus; coupling a first drilling module to the peripheral skidding system; operating the peripheral skidding system so as to align the first drilling module with one of the plurality of wellbay accesses; and operating the first drilling module to perform a first operation. 24149VI 011 14-0n-00</p> |
