Responsibilities

I am a drilling contractor and am working on this field for many years .I am owning a Sydney based drilling and boring company named AV Drilling . So i can explain you from my own experience. It is the responsibility of the Drilling Contractor to drill the well to the correct program specifications and to provide a well bore that is 'fit for purpose', subject to the terms of the contract. The Drilling Contractor shall not compromise safety or well integrity in order to reach the drilling objectives. A drilling Contractor develops, plans, costs and supervises the operations necessary for drilling oil and gas wells. They are involved from the initial well design to testing, completion and abandonment.Drilling Contractor work with other professionals, such as geologists and scientists.

What is an oil rig operator?

Oil rig operators run and manage an installation. The acreage of land that the oil reservoir resides is owned (leased) by the Oil Company. The Oil Company will pay a Drilling Contractor to drill the reservoir. The Drilling Contractor will own the drilling rig and will be the Rig Operator. The Oil Company will also employ Service Companies to perform certain functions on the rig during drilling. With a drilled and completed well the Oil Company may develop the location and install a Platform (if offshore) to produce numerous wells. The Oil Company may operate the platform itself or employ an Operating Company to manage the platform and production. Again, Service Companies may be employed to carry out remedial work on the oil wells from the platform.

What to consider before drilling a well?

There are many things to consider when drilling a water well. Here are a few questions to ask yourself. 1. How much is a typical well in my area? Neighbors are a great resource and local well drilling companies. 2. Is public water available? Is it cheap and readily accessible? 3. Is my well drilling contractor licensed and insured? 4. What type of demand do I need, how much GPM? 5. What kind of pressure do I need, how much PSI? 6. Is there possible contaminants in my aquifer? If so, what type of water system will be needed? They can be very costly. Hope this helps. For residential wells, local drillers are better. They know the area and are familiar with the drilling.
