WELL PLOTTING

Our well planning consultants, individually work with our clients to create plots that fit their specific needs. We understand that a proper visual display of the well profile, whether it be in the initial well design or while the well is being drilled, is vital and can act as a quick reference to ensure objectives are met in the execution of drilling a well. 

We will work with the regulatory, geology and drilling teams as well as the provincial/state governments to ensure that all data is accurate and all boundaries/mineral leases are displayed.
