Australian Well Servicing (AWS) has rolled out the first of its seven radically redesigned well servicing rigs which is set to change the landscape of the traditional well servicing sector in Australia’s coal seam gas industry.
AWS Executive General Manager Doug Henderson said key to the company’s successful foray into the well servicing marketplace will be its committed focus on cost and time savings for clients via a “˜clean sheet’ approach to flushby and workover solutions.
“AWS has developed a unique suite of well servicing solutions that set us apart, and will hopefully attract the interest of industry stakeholders looking for that valuable balance between increased safety and optimum efficiency,” said Mr Henderson.
“Our redesigned rigs achieve this critical need for market differentiation by performing all the same flushby and workover operations required, but in the process deliver massive efficiency gains for clients.
“Our rig’s flushby set up time is only 30 minutes from arrival, which is up to ten times faster than conventional rig set up times – meaning we can get in, out and onto the next well pad much quicker.
“We also gain cost and time reductions en-route to well sites because all our rigs are road legal and ready to roll to any location without the need for escorts or permits.
“Our unique multi-positioning catwalk platform system on our rigs also means our crews can quickly set up and operate in small or crowded lease pads without having to remove existing wellhead infrastructure.”
Mr Henderson said the AWS service offering was comprehensive and he was confident it would find a solid foothold in the marketplace.
“Like anything new, it will take time for the industry to embrace the new well servicing rigs we have developed.
“However, with all resource developers now increasingly looking across their operations for increased efficiencies, I am confident those stakeholders will see the value in what we have to offer and AWS will find its place in the market.”
