Mudline Suspension Systems (MLS) are commonly used for jack-up and platform drilling, where the elevation of the drill floor above the sea bed would impose unacceptable buckling forces on the unsupported casing type above the sea bed if the weight of the casing pipes were supported by a surface wellhead. MLS allows hanging off the …
