Procurement Specifications
There are many variables that need to be defined during the procurement of equipment and to minimise the risk of an equipment failure or unexpected expense, it is wise to define and agree absolutely every requirement with the supplier before they provide a quotation or commence manufacturer. We have 20 years of experience in this work and are also in the unique situation of owning the NS Specifications.

‘Working’ Specification Sheets
For use in Operations and at the Rig Site. These are compiled for the specific drill string that is being used on the project, with the actual material properties from the manufacturer data sheets, and incorporate the Safety Factors as defined by the operator.
The intention is to provide the team with all of the verified data that they may need and avoid the risk of incorrect data being copied from the internet.
Team or Project Specific Tally Books
During the planning phase for new projects (High Pressure, High Temperature, Underbalanced or Managed Pressure Drilling etc.) the teams often identify many important areas where they need to maintain focus. (Examples are Drill String Inspection, Stuck Pipe Prevention).
We can capture the information, validate it and add detail where valuable, then develop, publish and supply in pocket sized books (Even on waterproof paper if desired!)
