Customer Testimonies
"Total E&P UK plc has used Salos Sunesis Limited to conduct a ‘Well Control Readiness’ audit. The audit consisted of 2 parts:
- rig site audit which covers equipment, systems, procedures and personnel
- shore-based audit covers manuals and policy review.
The audit is extensive and very thorough. Salos Sunesis used highly experienced personnel who fully understood the objective of the audit and were able to fully investigate key aspects of the rigs well control readiness. Total recommends the use of Salos Sunesis Limited for similar well control readiness auditing and will be performing this type of audit on future rigs and well operations. This is a useful and important audit for any Operator both for a short well campaign but also for regular investigation on the readiness of the well operation of existing units."
Dougie MacPherson, Subsea Projects Team Leader
"Once again Salos Sunesis delivers another HPHT well safely. The stripping drills and the modifications suggested by yourselves really paid off with the 10,000 ft we had to strip in to kill the well at TD."
Senergy Wells Team Leader / Drilling Superintendent
"I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and your organisation for your support, help and guidance throughout the planning and execution of the Viola HPHT well.
The training onshore and coaching offshore provided by your organisation was extremely effective. All of this training came good when we actually had to strip in the hole some 10,000ft
Thank you for your support and I look forward to using your services for HPHT wells in the future."
Valiant Petroleum Drilling Manager
Obviously we were very pleased with your performance on the HPHT well, Selkirk, particularly during the training and execution phase when things took a turn for the worse due to the influx during TD logging.
If was good to have SSL as part of the team and we appreciate very much SSL’s contribution to successfully drilling the HPHT well and in re-gaining well control after the influx had occurred with the drillstring out of the hole. Thanks for your assistance and dedication to delivering a successful end result."
Nexen Petroleum UK Ltd Drilling Manager
"SSL provided excellent service to Nexen, ensuring that our HPHT procedures were based upon industry best practice and built upon previous experience.
The training plan developed for the project covering onshore, offshore and the JOM document, ensured that all team members received the training they required and this could be verified by the coaches remaining on the rig during the operation.
The approach taken on Selkirk to HPHT training and JOM implementation is considered best practice within Nexen. "
Nexen Petroleum UK Ltd Drilling Superintendent
"SSL drilled and drilled the team on our Kessog HPHT well until a HPHT team was moulded into shape prior to entering the HP/HT phase. The mud loggers who were mediocre at best, were turned into a well oiled monitoring machine. Each part of the team had complete confidence in each others ability to perform. SSL were the glue that held this team together. SSL also co-ordinated the onshore training through a one day HPHT course specialising on the theory and practices of HPHT well control with non-aqueous based drilling fluids. Kessog was a very difficult well to drill (BP Farm out) and it was drilled safely, on time and on budget. Which is no mean feat for an HPHT well these days - SSL had a significant part to play in this success."
Total E&P UK Plc
"Due to the demanding nature and challenges thrown at you during HPHT operations, it is imperative that the rig and crews are best placed to deal with the unexpected and deal with it correctly and not make things worse. The onshore HPHT training is an important element, but where we have seen huge value being added is at the wellsite during initial audits and verification work of equipment then hands on training with the crews using the actual systems on the rig. This when coupled with an offshore expert to coach and mentor real-time during unplanned events makes for a very robust way of working. The key to success here is the competence and coaching ability of the HPHT trainer/coach to engage with the whole team and not just the supervisors and onshore experts. SSL brings that to any project."
BG Group HPHT Well Team Leader
"I had hoped for this result and you have delivered again - looking forward to building on what we have achieved so far."
BG Group HPHT Drilling Superintendent
"I have had the pleasure of SSL's HPHT consultancy on several HPHT projects in the North Sea. Their dedication and resolve are second to none. In the HPHT field there are few candidates with their experience level. SSL's skill set ranges from management reviews to preparation of well control and HPHT manuals, onshore HPHT training and offshore coaching. Essentially they are a one-stop HPHT shop. I would classify their involvement as a necessity rather than an added bonus on any HPHT project."
Mark Knorz Ltd
"Having the SSL Coach was a real asset, I have no negative feedback, just thanks and praise for all his efforts and input, learned a lot from him. We should have a SSL Coach come out for next HPHT well."
Oilexco
"My sincere thanks for the major part you played in forming what I consider a good team with the potential to be a great team."
