In 2014, Resinex was called upon to supply surface and depth buoys for the oil extraction operations of Saipem’s Drilling Rig Scarabeo 4.

Throughout 2014, Resinex has been asked for supplying surface buoys and subsurface buoys for the oil drilling operations of the Drilling Rig Scarabeo 4 owned by Saipem.
At the beginning of the very same year, Resinex supplied 15 buoys type PEM 22 able to operate in depth. Buoys were specifically designed to keep the position on the vessel deck (side 2 m by 2 m) and to optimize the dimension/transport charge ratio. They are 3 m long and have a PEM 22 buoy capable of operating at depth for Saipemnet buoyancy of 10.400 kg at an operational depth of 100 m. At the end of the summer 2014, Saipem Misr which manages Scarabeo 4 in the Egyptian waters, required a chain support buoy for surface. It is made of shockproof material, it has a net buoyancy of 8.000 kg and is able to support a mooring with a 63 mm diameter chain with a  85 tons shackle.
Scarabeo 4 is a Drilling Rig semi-sumergible of second generation. It has a length of 109 metres and a height of 100 metres. Height of deck from the sea level is 44,5 metres. It can work at a water depth of 1790 feet (545 metres). Scarabeo 4 is now operated in the Egyptian Mediterranean waters by IEOC.
