Performance-Based Contract Delivers Results

In the US Gulf of Mexico, Well Construction Services drilled and completed eight wells for Shell on the Vito project and reduced the average AFE by 15%. Key technologies deployed for this deepwater project included:

• PowerDrive Orbit rotary steerable system
• AxeBlade ridged diamond element bit
• RheGuard flat rheology drilling fluid system.

These results are from an integrated performance-based contract that delivered the project ahead of schedule.
