On site we team up with rig personnel in a cooperative and positive atmosphere to support an efficient operation for all involved and minimising time spent on site and costs.

The operational capability of your contractors does not only rely on equipment alone. The complex dynamics, organisation, and systems involved in drilling and wellsite operations may be difficult to assess. Wagenborg Foxdrill offers our HOT Assessment (Human, Operations, Technical) to support operators in gaining additional valuable insight in the operational readiness of a drilling asset and its supporting organisation.
