Energy Innovator Awards 2019

26 Corporate Vision - Energy Innovator Awards 2019 , Operating in what is a very niche market of the drilling contractor sector, Cartel’s main challenges arise from trying to get major firms to understand the value of pre- setting surface casing, whilst keeping their service economical. Whilst the drilling itself is relatively easy to be kept economically viable, the cost skyrockets with the movement of the rigs between operations. With the rig move sometimes costing up to 40% of the operation’s total cost, projects have to be kept tight in order to remain economically viable for both Cartel and the Operator. However, the firm remains ahead of the curve in a multitude of ways, and are continuing to address new issues all the time. With the majority of profits being invested directly back into the firm, Cartel is always buying new equipment and upgrading old equipment in the pursuit of efficiency and excellence. For example, to tackle the high cost associated with rig moves between wells, the firm has invested in their own fleet of trucks to eliminate excess cost, and they have gone one step further in trailer-mounting every load of the rig to make it quicker, easier, cheaper, and more permit friendly. Separating themselves from the crowd, Cartel Drilling LLC operates as a performance-based drilling contractor across the RockyMountain states of North America. The teamknows that if they are unable to outperform their competition, then they simply cannot remain profitable. That’s what makes their work evenmore outstanding.
