Modern drilling projects are changing
Space is tighter, regulations are stricter and expectations are higher, but the rig still has to deliver commercial drilling performance.
Common challenges include:
- Drilling in environmentally sensitive locations and urban developments
- Limited space for the rig and site preparation
- Stricter regulation and higher expectations from stakeholders
- Emerging energy sectors such as geothermal and lithium extraction
Modern operations demand:
- Efficient drilling with reduced environmental impact
- Simpler mobilisation between sites
- Commercial performance that holds up over the rig’s operational life
