Vision
Offshore Drilling Spin-off Surpasses Expectations

When a major drilling company opted to become a deep water-only expert WJM evaluated the dozens of small, shallow water assets being divested. The team identified the ?keepers? and developed a system of preventive maintenance protocols standardized for all rig components. A database of maintenance contractors was built, matching each firm with the specific procedures it was qualified to perform. With streamlined operations, the consolidated spin-off has emerged as a leader in its own right.

30 Year Old Supply Boat Becomes State of the Art Dive Vessel

The capacity to repurpose assets is a critical advantage in the market and on the balance sheet. When Superior Offshore International evaluated options for its 30 year old supply boat, The Endeavour, the company saw the foundation for a state of the art dive vessel. Superior looked to WJM to oversee the transformation. Now equipped with hyperbaric chambers, updated safety systems and all the comforts of home, The Endeavour is poised to generate an important new revenue stream for Superior.

Velocity
Record Breaking Time to First Oil in Offshore Brazil

Devon Energy's POLVO project takes its name from the Portuguese word for ?octopus.? Long reach, highly deviated well bores extend like tentacles from a central fixed drilling platform to numerous reservoirs at varying depths throughout the field. To meet the aggressive schedule, WJM ensured timely decision making and flawless integration of work packages. The venture also marks the first instance of an independent working directly with the Brazilian government to complete a project without the involvement of Petrobras, the state-owned oil company.
