Overview

We are a team of highly experienced, forward-thinking well engineers with broad international exposures under the leadership of our principal founder Hope Okwa. Our directors and staff have expertise in well design and operations, supply chain management, Data analytics and organisational change, and are brought together by a passion to raise the standard of well engineering practice in Nigeria. We have track records of value creation in well delivery while working for operating companies around the world, from the largest, such as Saudi Aramco, Shell, BP, as well as the smaller operators such as Amni Petroleum, Monipulo, Elcrest, Excel E & P, etc. Hd Okwa Drilling Services Ltd was borne out of a desire to help operating companies in the Niger Delta plug the value leak in well operations. A recent study revealed value leaks of up to 60% in drilling and workover operations in the Niger Delta. These value leaks result from the peculiar challenges of the environment – cultural issues, difficult logistics, dearth of technical expertise, etc – create: **High NPT & ILT, averaging more than 30% or well time. **Repetitive failures from wellbore instability, rig & service company equipment integrity, well control, **operational failures, etc. **Lack of genuine value creation especially through new technology.
