ADC is a family owned independent company with a worldwide reputation gained by providing the highest standard of Rig Inspection Services to companies across the globe for over 30 years.

Our inspection teams consider every aspect of onshore and offshore drilling rigs. Whether it’s mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, digital or human, our experts are competent and trained in inspecting high spec 5th, 6th and 7th Gen “cyber” rigs, ensuring they are fully functional, reliable, well maintained, safe and efficient for your drilling operations.
 

With our “all4ONE” philosophy, our four specialist divisions provide you with a comprehensive rig inspection service:

• Rig Intake Management Services
• Rig Selection Survey
• Rig Condition Survey
• Rig Reactivation Verification and Support
• Rig Acceptance & Endurance Testing
• BOP & Well Control Equipment Inspection incl. HPHT & API S53 Gap analyses
• Cyber Rig Controls, Software and Cyber Security verification
• Dynamic Positioning and Power Management surveys
• SEMS Audits, competency and compliance assessments
• Online E-Learning Training courses (Rig Inspection / Drilling Equipment / Well Control / Dropped Object Management)
   

ADC have seen a notable increase in enquiries concerned with the selection and  reactivation of cold and warm stacked rigs, in particular the immensely sophisticated and highly automated 5th, 6th and 7th Gen rigs. Never before stacked or intended to be switched off (unlike their forebears), there is real concern about the correct procedures required to bring these high-spec rigs back to life. With our industry bearing the brunt of cost reduction and trying to recover, the last thing overstretched drilling and safety departments need right now is the additional workload of managing a rig's re-emergence into their active fleet with all the associated unknowns.

“Over 30 years of Operator and Contractor experience and industry leading Rig Inspection innovation, contributes to and informs our Rig Intake Management Services. Designed to support internal drilling departments or provide independent ‘standalone’ management services, our expert teams of OEM and operationally trained oilfield professionals, deliver the assurance needed to execute drilling programs with confidence.”

Walter continued, “From assisting the rig screening process, developing rig selection inspection checklists and conducting rig selection inspections, to developing bespoke rig acceptance standards, undertaking comprehensive condition and acceptance inspections and monitoring the close out of non-conformances, our Rig Intake Management Services are arguably your most valuable asset when chartering or contracting complex automated drilling rigs, whether stacked or not.

With a number of contracts in the Americas with:

ADC’s strategy would already seem to be paying dividends.

In the next issue you can expect:

“ADC Americas – Creating the Safety Standard on US Soil” – our experiences of the onshore land rig drilling, production and frac fleet. Common faults, trends and improvement opportunities.
