NGB / DRILLING
From site preparation through drilling and casing to well handover. Turnkey delivery, day-rate operations or agreed work packages.
Discuss a project
NGB constructs vertical and directional oil and gas wells. We combine engineering preparation, mobilization, drilling, casing and coordination of specialist services within the agreed scope.
Our ZJ40 drilling rig has a rated hook load of 225 t and a nominal drilling depth of 4,000 m. Suitability for a specific well is assessed against its design, trajectory, geology and work programme.
The lowest day rate does not necessarily deliver the lowest well cost.
Drilling duration is one of the key variables in well construction cost. Every additional day extends expenditure on the rig and associated services charged on a time basis. We therefore focus on the economics of the complete operation, not simply the price of an individual day or a record rate of penetration.
For us, drilling is a craft strengthened by engineering. Skilled people, reliable equipment and modern technology must work towards one outcome: an executed programme, a quality well and justified expenditure for the client. We aim to reduce avoidable time losses, not safety or quality requirements.
A strong drilling culture starts with rigorous attention to equipment condition. A rig matched to the project, planned maintenance, inspections, testing and the readiness of critical components form the foundation of reliable service. Our priority is to prevent failures rather than respond with emergency repairs.
We select drill bits and bottomhole assemblies for the geology, trajectory and objectives of each interval. We consider not only rate of penetration but also footage per run, tool life, vibration and the risk of an unplanned trip. A gain over a single metre should not become a loss of several days.
Hydraulic capability is more than a pump horsepower rating. It requires a coordinated circulating system: appropriate flow and pressure, suitable drilling-fluid properties, effective bottomhole cleaning and cuttings transport within allowable pressure limits. The bit, BHA, fluid and drilling parameters must work together.
We value experience that helps anticipate problems, not merely react to them. Before operations begin, the team must understand the geological section, well design and trajectory, offset-well results and potential complications. Professionalism is demonstrated through preparation, coordinated execution and timely adjustment of decisions using actual data.
For us, the learning curve means systematically transferring experience within a field and a project. Our principle is to record actual parameters and results, investigate the causes of time losses, retain successful solutions and incorporate them into the next programme. Knowledge must not remain confined to one shift, one crew or one specialist.
Drilling evolves alongside materials, electronics, downhole measurements and digital tools. We regard modelling, automation and artificial intelligence as ways to strengthen engineering work: analysing data, planning operations and identifying risks. We judge a technology by its verified practical value, not its novelty. Engineering accountability remains with people.
NGB combines its own drilling fleet and the practical experience of its team with international professional relationships, knowledge exchange and leading global practices. We welcome collaboration with strong teams, continue learning and refine our approach so that modern knowledge becomes better decisions at each well.
Drilling is the craft of skilled people, the precision of engineering and a commitment to continuous improvement. Every day matters.
We construct vertical and directional wells, combining engineering preparation, site organisation, drilling, casing and coordination of specialist services. We work on a turnkey, day-rate or agreed work-package basis. We provide operational control, daily reporting and technical handover documentation.
Turnkey: an integrated scope with agreed boundaries, risk allocation, schedule and acceptance criteria.
Day rate: rig and crew services, with operating modes and each party’s responsibilities defined contractually.
Work packages: a well section, specific operation, installation, dismantling or another defined package.
Preparation mobilisation drilling casing and cementing coordination completion / testing handover.
Client deliverables: the agreed completed scope, as-built records, reports and a documented technical decision trail.
