Dynamic drilling market
A large portion of Scientific Drilling ’ s revenue comes from US land operations . Its footprint , however , extends across every continent , except Antarctica , with locations in the Middle East , Argentina , Brazil , Mexico , Scotland , Norway , the Netherlands , and several operational bases across Asia . The Middle East is Scientific Drilling ’ s largest overseas market , with half a dozen offices staged across the region .
“ Continuing forward ,” Wes concludes , “ we are definitely looking to keep challenging the status quo in the measurement tools industry , where we will maintain our position as market leader . At the same time , we want to continue to lead and innovate on the drilling side .”
“ The directional drilling market is very dynamic ,” Bo says . “ The biggest factor with drilling tools , when it comes to innovating new ideas , is the way in which the market is constantly changing , especially when it comes to our rotary steerable systems . If you are not innovating between these cycles , you ’ re going to get left behind .”
Scientific Drilling continues to leverage the core concepts on which it has capitalized to advance drilling technologies . It has the capabilities to produce new tools with higher levels of sophistication , implementing its vast understanding of electronics gained from manufacturing measurement tools .
“ Together ,” says Wes , rounding out our conversation , “ we can bring these elements into the drilling landscape , and establish many more industry firsts .” ■
