Brinker Exceeds Operator Requirements, Zero Failures

UK based, oil and gas technology company Brinker is celebrating a year of zero failures as its game-changing Platelet barrier technology redefines working practices in the global well integrity market. It is estimated at any one moment, across the world, between 20 and 30% of existing wells do not operate due to integrity issues. Brinker’s Platelet technology enables operators to bring shut-in wells or wells producing under dispensation back online in a matter of hours. More than 30 workover jobs have been carried out in the last year from the Arctic ice cap to the deserts of the Middle East, in temperatures ranging from minus 40 degrees Celsius to plus 50 degrees Celsius - all completed with a 100% success rate.

Blake to Build Two Self Propelled Jack Up Rigs

Blake Drilling & Work Over Company, Inc. announced the decision to build two self-propelled, multi-service jackup vessels. These well servicing and side tracking units, designed by Zentech, Inc. of Houston, Texas, will complement Mike Blake’s existing fleet operations in the Gulf of Mexico and facilitate their entry into international markets. The vessels will be the first of their type designed and built specifically to the stringent ABS, USCG and IMO MODU specifications. The units will be classed as Self Propelled, Mobile Offshore, Jack Up Well Servicing Units (MODU Classification). These rigs are quite distinct from Liftboats, and greatly exceed the capabilities of rigs operating in existing liftboat fleets. Construction is scheduled to start mid-third quarter of this year.
