Client Benefits

Our well management operations provide many benefits to participating companies. Common to both single company programmes and multi-operator campaigns are our:

Full service offering and competitive edge
We have more well management experience than many operators outside the oil majors. Clients can have confidence that we are able to provide the full spectrum of services and engineering expertise. We plan, manage and deliver well programmes safely and efficiently. And because we have this experience, in depth resources and an ethos of partnership with our clients, you can be assured that we will always be competitive. 

Contracting flexibility
We offer several alternative types of contracts and we are happy to work with clients to identify the one most suited to the work to be undertaken. It is possible to combine elements of these alternative contracts or modify the basic structure of the selected arrangement. Flexibility is key.

Contracting Strength
We have the resources, know-how and financial muscle to secure for our clients the most competitive prices for goods and services. Furthermore, we have the expertise to ensure that the most appropriate and effective items of equipment are secured.   

Interfaces
Our history, size and strength brings the benefit of close and lasting relationships with the myriad of companies - such as rig owners, major oil companies, suppliers and consultants  – involved in the planning and execution of a well management programme.

Government bodies
In the same way, we have established over a long period of time a valuable rapport with the key governmental and regulatory authorities involved in petroleum exploration and production in our key areas of operation. Such relationships – built on knowledge, understanding and respect – are vital, but often elusive for smaller company operators.  

Experience of different geographical areas and well types
AGR Petroleum Services has experience of drilling in most of the major oil zones of the world, including the Middle East, Asia, Africa, North and South America, and throughout Europe. In the same vein, we have successfully operated in every type of drilling environment including onshore, shallow water, deep water, and extended-reach as well as high pressure/high temperature zones.

Expertise kept current
As specialists and recognised leaders in our field we have both the resources and incentive to maintain our knowledge of the most current techniques and technologies. Our engineers and other specialist staff participate fully in the activities of professional and academic bodies.

Deep resources
Our resources are built on the skills and experience drawn from the leading well management operators which constitute AGR Petroleum Services Well Management; Drilling Production Technology of Norway, The Peak Group of the UK, Upstream Petroleum of Australia and F.J Brown & Associates in the U.S. We have a dedicated staff of over 150 specialists as well as access to other skilled personnel through our associated consultancy services.

For those independent E & P companies participating in our multi-operator programmes there are further benefits from working with AGR Petroleum Services Well Management:

• Access to the rig market
  Smaller, independent E & P companies might well find it difficult to secure rig slots in a highly competitive drilling rig market. Our contracting strength and ability to arrange multi-client, multi-well campaigns can be vital for oil companies faced with drilling commitments or time constraints.
• Ability to achieve the highest standards
  By participating in our multi-operator programmes, smaller companies can be confident of fulfilling drilling obligations to the highest standards even when though they may lack the necessary resources, capacity or technology.
• Ability to meet environmental and safety standards
  In the same vein, participants in multi-client programmes are able to take advantage of AGR Petroleum Services extensive expertise to meet all essential environmental and safety requirements and procedures.
• Networking opportunities
  Smaller companies participating in these AGR-led drilling consortia have also benefited from the networking effect of working with like-minded E & P consortium members.
