Drilling Facilities

PD&MS has an extensive track record in the delivery of brownfield modification projects across both fixed and mobile installations, including jack-up rigs, semi-submersible drilling rigs, hydraulic workover units, modular drilling rigs and fixed platforms.

In addition, we have particular strength and experience when it comes to delivering all aspects of execution, comprising project management, engineering, procurement, the management of drilling equipment vendors, offshore execution and close-out services.

As a business we have an unrivalled level of knowledge concerning the successful delivery of drilling facility upgrades, maintenance and rig reactivation projects, comprising major rig and system upgrades alongside smaller operationally critical support-type projects, in line with a client’s requirements.

We’re especially adept at delivering cost-effective, context-sensitive reactivation of platform drilling facilities for end-of-life P&A activity. Our strength here resides in our independence from the incumbent drilling contractor and the effective use of our experience and operational knowledge to rigorously challenge the perceived scope, in order to drive a lower cost and shorter timescale for the benefit of our client. Our proven approach has been trusted by a number of operators, both for support of optioneering and developing an upgrade strategy and budget, and for the effective execution of the agreed plan.

We offer a comprehensive service which includes all relevant engineering disciplines, associated vendor/package management, offshore construction, implementation and commissioning, along with support and administration to minimise the requirement for clients to manage the associated additional interfaces. Our long history of experience underpins the PD&MS reputation for best-in-class delivery of rig reactivations, recertification and drilling upgrade scopes.
