Drilling

Drilling takes a well from the surface down to the reservoir. Careful planning, the right equipment and constant pressure control decide the safety and success of every well.

Areas

  1. Onshore Drilling

    Drilling oil and gas wells on land, from site preparation to target depth. The drilling programme is tailored to each field’s geology.

  2. Offshore Drilling

    Drilling from offshore platforms and rigs, with their own safety and support requirements. Marine logistics are a major part of the work.

  3. Well Completion

    Preparing a drilled well for production, from running casing and perforating to installing downhole equipment. A good completion sets the well’s productivity and life.

  4. Well Testing

    Measuring flow, pressure and fluid properties after drilling. The results show the well’s production potential and the reservoir’s characteristics.

Equipment

  1. Drilling Rigs

    Land and offshore rigs with hoisting, rotating and mud circulation systems. The rig is chosen to suit well depth and site conditions.

  2. Drill Bits

    Roller-cone and PDC bits for formations from soft to very hard. The right bit drills faster and at lower cost.

  3. Drill Pipe and Drilling Equipment

    Drill pipe, casing, drill collars and drill-string tools. Their quality underpins safe, uninterrupted operations.

  4. Blowout Prevention Equipment

    Blowout preventers, pressure control systems and well control equipment. They are the most important safety barrier in drilling.

  5. Downhole Tools and Equipment

    Downhole motors, steering tools, packers and fishing tools. They make directional drilling and downhole problem-solving possible.
