Our last news of 1st semester 2015

Algeria

After a long period of successful work in Algeria and despite a number of events that have affected the industry, we maintained our activity in the country and even showed some progress in our business.

 

Indeed, Algeria is an important player in the oil and gas production industry. It is the fourth largest oil producer in Africa and the sixth largest gas producer in the world. We count on a more important development in the coming years and on increasing our activity in the technical assistance and the professional training areas.

Furthermore, the DRILNET Algerian branch is in the process of creation and we do expect this to have a positive impact on our activity.

Italy

In June 2013, an ATI, Companies Temporary Association agreement has been signed in Pescara, Italy, among DRILNET, WELLYNX and INIZIATIVE INDUSTRIALI, on behalf of an Italian Company contract, for the execution of a number of wells in Italy and abroad. The scope of work includes supervision and engineering of drilling and completions as well as the execution of civil works and logistics. The Italian client is ENEL, the main power generation company in Italy, which has created a gas storage drilling division.

 

A collaboration and representation agreement for training is in process of being signed between DRILNET and ACT, a Libyan training center. The training may, possibly, be delayed due to the instability problem within the Libyan territory but, being expected to take place in Malta, there is a chance that it will be started at the end of August.

DRILLMEC – good chances to work together on an e-learning program preparation for their engineering, sales and after sales personnel.

With the aim to support and ensure the sustainable development of our clients and partners in Russia, DRILNET opened its Russian Branch in 2009.

We have certified since this date more than 300 drilling engineers in Russia, which is the result of fruitful collaboration between European experts and Russian oil & gas universities specialists. The dedicated training material and case-studies on well engineering, well supervision and well completion were developed to enhance the effectiveness of our training courses. Some of these courses have been edited and admitted as a textbook for students of “Oil and Gas Business” Master degree by Educational Methodical Association of Universities of the Russian Federation, such as the course “Well-killing and Completion Fluids” (2013).

 

A fully customized 3D-simulator of Central Production Facility was created in partnership with IT specialists over the six last months and is now fully commercialized. Thanks to the local partnerships, DRILNET can also provide legal consulting services in HR management projects, as we did for one of the world’s largest natural gas fields in the Barents Sea. Our Russian management team actively participates in annual forums, conferences and exhibitions dedicated to the energy sector in Russia and Kazakhstan.
