About Us

“We believe that what we accept today is the standard for the future. The lowest standard you accept is the highest you can expect from others.”

That is the view of our Chairman and Managing Director Douglas Hay. It was his guiding principle when he established the business in 1985 and it remains central to our ethos now.

Our success is based on bringing together the three key foundations of our success – integration, partnership and flexibility.

Building on these, we have provided cost-effective solutions for all the main operators and contractors in the oil and gas industry worldwide, both onshore and offshore. 

As a private family business, you can also rely on our integrity and objectivity. You can take confidence that we will provide you with the highest standards in drilling and well engineering consultancy services. These are delivered by a hand-picked team of 60 specialist personnel, chosen because they understand our commitment to deliver the highest standards anywhere in the world.

To enhance the quality of our services, we have recently made a substantial investment in state-of-the art video-conferencing facilities. This makes it much simpler to assemble the entire project team – regardless of their current location – to focus, jointly, on any project issues. Additionally it saves travel cost and time, with the attendant environmental benefits.
