Land-rig operations in remote locations

08 January 2009 Hi

Happy New Year and all the best for 2009 !! .. to all our members.

One of our associate companies (Ops Research experts) have come
across an opportunity that I´m trying to help them with.

A potential client of theirs has a strategic issue of where to drill
wells in a remote location (in Indonesia) with a protected forrest
and wildlife refuge involved.

They want a feasibility study that firstly takes logistic costs into
consideration (build roads or use heli's?) secondly environmental
factors also play a role in the final choice of well locations.
('least disturbance'). Thirdly there is a concern of the
availability of water for drilling.

The client has no information on issues like: a) How much does it
cost to build a road from A to B?, b) How much weight can the
roadbridge across river C actually carry?, c) What is the capacity
of the local port at D? All that has to be answered in the
feasability study.

Our associates have some contacts in the civil contracting world of
Indonesia and it should be possible to find a civil engineer who can
be part of their team.

Do you have any additional ideas/suggestions that might help with
this and/or can you recommend specialists who they can pull into the
team .. to give the client world-class service.

Thanks and best wishes
