Cougar Drilling Solutions was recently highlighted in Oil & Gas Middle East magazine. Below are a several key points mentioned by Brod Sutcliffe, the Present of Cougar Drilling Solutions Service Division.
Cougar Drilling Solutions provides Drilling Engineering, Directional Drilling, Well Planning, Mud Motors, a range of Drilling Tools and MWD/LWD provided on a rental-with or without-service basis.
“Most small directional drilling companies have to go out and buy mud motors, drilling jars and so on – we don’t,” says Sutcliffe. “Half the task and cost of tooling up for a job is not there because we already have high quality, in-house drilling tools.”
Sutcliffe is also keen that Cougar uses the experience of its engineers to offer the highest standards of HSE and quality management, which are typically associated with the services giants. “We’ve got a very clear perspective on what we want in terms of the support systems, and will only move to new markets as long as we can maintain these standards,” he says. “On many occasions in our industry, directional drillers are not using to the full what we have on-hand in terms of offset well knowledge. Opportunities are being missed by not planning and engineering wells thoroughly enough during the pre-drilling phase.
“We encourage clients to involve service providers such as directional and performance drillers in exercises like drilling the well on paper, and conducting after-action reviews.”
“It’s a good time to be in the business. We have an eye on the ball for quality, use guys with a lot of experience and work hard to capture their experience and pass it on.”
