The Solution (in partnership with a client we worked with)
- Sourcing: Located a viable rig in Houston
- Inspection: Conducted comparative inspections; rejected the first rig, approved the second.
- Audit: Audited the modification yard and equipment workshops for API compliance, including financial background checks on the broker and yard.
- Quality Assurance: Attended multiple Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and conducted weekly site visits.
- Final Verification: Performed an RDIT (Rig Departure/Intake Test) prior to shipping.
The Results
- Open Communication: Transparent dialogue between the client, broker, and yard ensured a smooth process.
- Operational Readiness: The rig arrived on location ready to commence drilling immediately.
- Client Feedback: The client provided positive feedback and has indicated that further rig intakes may be on the horizon as their drilling program expands.
