Exceed's Unique Deepwater Service Offering

Technological innovation has changed the face of deepwater drilling. Previously unheard of, drilling at depths of 3,500 meters and more is no longer impossible. This does, however, mean having to deal with the realities of increasingly complex wells, high cost operations, and a low tolerance for error.

The global shortage of knowledgeable and experienced expertise means that any operator entering the deepwater theatre is faced with significant challenges and risk.

Partnering with Exceed is a way of managing this risk. Exceed provides more than just an outsourced project management solution. Our specialist deepwater drilling team focuses exclusively on deepwater and ultra-deepwater developments.

We offer a complete project management and wells engineering solution provided by a team of deepwater specialists whose combined experience of over 300 years includes an impressive track record of well types, completion types and operating environments. 

We aim to work with and support national oil companies venturing into the world of exploration, appraisal and development. Our offering is designed for operators who typically hire staff on a needs basis as their drilling program doesn’t dictate dedicated operational staff.

Your subsurface or production team is our primary client.

We minimise your start-up costs and investment in infrastructure, providing the flexibility of an expert team without adding a permanent overhead. We can plan and execute your entire drilling campaign from well design, rig and technology selection, contract award, drilling, well evaluation, and testing through to installation completion.

Our success is evaluated against four key measures:

1. HSE
2. Delivery of well objectives
3. Top-quartile drilling performance & costs within AFE
4. Developing internal capability

Additional project specific measures are agreed upon in cooperation with our clients.

Our offering is unique in the fact that we are able to mobilise an entire team with proven methods of working and an impressive track record, but still give you the benefit of a scaled introduction of team members thus minimising your overhead.
