What Differentiates Our Team of Deepwater Specialists?
Deepwater operations are by definition high-cost and therefore have a low tolerance for error. Managing the key challenges of access, cost of services, and experience shortage is critical to the success of your drilling program.
How will Exceed’s deepwater capability add value to your operation? What differentiates Exceed from other service providers?
Intimate deepwater knowledge – A mobile team of specialists focused on deepwater is a world first. Each individual member on our team has a personal track record in deepwater drilling, with the combined team boasting over 300 years offshore drilling experience.
Reduced cost of access – Bringing in a cohesive high performing team eliminates the learning curve and removes the burden and cost associated with recruiting each individual. The Exceed team also brings shared HSE values and an agreed-upon approach to planning & learning.
Enhanced reputation – When you mobilise an external drilling team, this group of people quickly becomes the “external face” of your operation. Our clients benefit from the quality of our relationships with suppliers and contractors as well as the excellent reputation of each individual in our team.
Experienced expertise – There is no replacement for experience. In a time when skills and experience is at an all time shortage, we have hand-picked a global team of leaders whose experience with rig types, types of wells drilled, completion types and operating environments is second to none.
Deepened knowledge transfer – One of the key challenges for smaller operators is transfer of learning and knowledge management. With our deepwater team, our clients gain access to best in class practices, knowledge & learning from other rigs and operations.
Integrated performance improvement - Our goal is to maximise your return on investment through a fully integrated approach. In addition to the conventional team, we bring in Performance Coaches who work with your team to optimise performance and leave behind a sustainable approach to planning & learning.
Training the next generation – With deepwater explorations entering regions where knowledge and experience is limited, It is our intent to work with NOCs and governments to proactively develop the local labour force through professional and technical training as well as a mentoring & coaching programme.
Flexible contracting options – We understand that clients have different needs and preferences when it comes to contract structure. We offer contract options based on lump sum, day rate, or performance-based.
Needs-based access to resources – In addition to the core mobilised team, we provide access to a shared pool of resources including a wells completion team and testing engineers. Access is on an ‘as required’ basis, which means that there is no additional overhead during off-project time.
Managed risk – Exceed carries the risk and responsibility for the well-being of our team, inclusive of travel security, staffing, benefits, professional development, etc. This means that our clients are relieved of the administrative burden associated with recruiting individual staff members.
In-house recruitment capability – Exceed’s in-house recruitment capability means that we are often first to hear of people becoming available to move. This allows us to select the best people to meet your needs.
