AGR delivered increased value to the Volve field Operator, Statoil, by completing the drilling 85 days ahead of budget and no LTI or serious spills recorded. 

AGR was assigned by Statoil to deliver Well Management services for the second drilling campaign on the Volve field. This was the first time Statoil used an independent Well Management company. The operation was conducted using jack-up Maersk Inspirer.
