Drilling Services or Rig Ownership: Are we looking at a tender primarily for drilling
services, or does it include aspects of rig ownership and operation?
provisions and operation of an onshore drilling rig - lets start realistically and say we
need 5 rigs.
2. Technical Specifications of the Project:
 Could you please specify the type of rig required for this project? For instance,
are we considering a conventional land rig, or is there a need for a more
specialized setup like a slant or a modular rig?
 What is the anticipated well depth and the geological complexity we expect to
encounter? This information is vital for understanding the technical challenges
and equipment requirements.
3. Operational Environment:
 Could you elaborate on the logistical and environmental conditions of the
proposed drilling site? For example, access to infrastructure, climatic conditions,
and potential environmental sensitivities are key factors in planning and
execution.
4. Regulatory and Compliance Framework:
 Given the region's regulatory landscape, could you provide insights into the
specific compliance requirements, both environmental and operational, that are
expected in this project?
5. Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) Standards:
 What are the expected HSE standards and protocols? It’s imperative to align our
safety and environmental strategies with the project’s requirements and local
regulations.
6. Project Timeline and Key Milestones:
 Do you have a defined project timeline and key milestones, especially concerning
the tendering process, rig mobilization, drilling commencement, and expected
completion?
7. Identifying Experienced Subcontractors in North Africa:
 Given the project’s location, it’s imperative to engage subcontractors with
proven experience in North Africa. Do you have a shortlist of subcontractors?
8. Circulating the Tender:
 To reach the most qualified subcontractors, we should utilize industry
publications, online platforms, and professional networks. Where you are going
to advertise the tender?
