Abstract
This paper describes some of the floating drilling problems associated with motion and distance and how they were solved. Basic steps in floating drilling and the drilling systems and vessels that have been developed to accommodate motion are discussed. The distance between the drilling vessel and the ocean floor created another set of operational and equipment problems that have been solved to the degree that floating drilling has been accomplished successfully in water depths just short of 5,000 ft.
