The first week of September 2010 was notable for Discovery Drilling Equipment for the negotiations with the potential client, an international drilling contractor. Representatives visited our facility located in Stryi.

A tour at the factory and implemented Quality System left an excellent impression on the guests and served as a background for further cooperation. At that time DDE had a standard model of СМ650 mast and  SL650 substructure available in the yard. After the review of all structural details, Discovery Drilling Equipment and KCA Deutag agreed for cooperation. During six weeks the offered standard project was adapted to the customer requirements. DDE equipped the mast СМ650 with a traveling block (model number ТВ6507601500). A large scope of work was performed at that time. A good organization, tight cooperation and communication lead to positive results. This fact contributed to a high quality level as per API and ISO requirements, despite huge amount of work and limited time frame. The sixth of November was a red-letter day for DDE. The delivery date was met, all works were performed timely. The DDE drilling equipment conforms to API and ISO requirements as well as to the customer specification. Its structure is full of innovative ideas generated in the result of symbiosis of engineering knowledge and analyses of multiyear work experience at drilling rigs. 

Currently the drilling rig is successfully operating in Africa
