Well Control Rig Readiness Audits

Our rig well control readiness audits are designed to ensure that manuals, procedures, policies, equipment & people, when combined, are able to meet the emerging operational challenges that HPHT drilling projects can bring.  Using our Well Ready TM audit system our auditors are not just able to identify gaps but quickly identify issues and offer remedial actions allowing them to take the appropriate corrective action. Our focus is to reduce the risk our clients face whilst simultaneously improving safety and performance. Our audits are based on compliance with industry standards and can be customized to incorporate company requirements and procedures.

Salos have conducted audits on a wide variety of drilling rigs for multiple operators.

Our shore-based audit examines compatibility and compliance with industry standards and assesses:

  • Manuals
  • Policies
  • Procedures
