ND-17 successfully completed 13 years operations without a LTI
NDCOn 5th August 2008 onshore rig ND-17 has successfully completed 13 years of operations without any Lost Time Injury. This is the first time in NDC history a rig is achieving such an outstanding record.
As per IADC global record, it is a very significant achievement as only less than 20 rigs achieved more than 13 years so far accordingly to their available record. Which means the ratio of 1 rig out of 270.
During the period, rig has worked more than 5.5 million man-hours and 1.8 million footages drilled from over 120 wells, including drilling and re-entry.

Directional and Horizontal Drilling

By integrating state-of-the-art technologies with advanced drilling techniques, NDC optimises production, reduces costs and enhances environmental protection. Directional drilling allows several wells to be drilled at varying angles from a central location or same platform. This dramatically decreases the amount of land surface area, on shore or offshore, required to develop an oilfield, making it possible to place the well in the least environmentally-sensitive location and still reach a reservoir that may be miles away laterally. NDC also will utilize the most updated tool for measurements while drilling. Include the hole inclination, hole direction survey and the Logging while drilling technology.
