From first call to spinning again — under 48 hours.
The challenge
A client rang with a rig down on loss of rotation — every hour stopped is metres not drilled.
What we did
Our exploration specialist talked the client's crew through a series of tests over the phone and pinned the fault to a failed rotation pump. We loaded a replacement from the client's warehouse and hit the road to Port Hedland — old pump out, new rotation pump in.
The outcome
Rig back up and spinning inside 48 hours of the first phone call — diagnostics to done, one trip, no second mobilisation.
