Rig intake and inspection specialist ModuSpec, part of the MR Group, has secured several contracts to support existing and new clients in Egypt, representing over $175,000 in revenue. The awards include the intake of a jack-up and two land-based drilling rigs.

A multi-discipline team of surveyors is being mobilised offshore to inspect an operational jack-up drilling rig in the coming weeks. The conventional design jack-up will be contracted for a new operator to undertake well intervention activities offshore Egypt. The client selected ModuSpec to provide independent third-party assurance that the equipment and systems are in a state of readiness to operate as intended and within compliance. 

Key to client requirements is reviewing the crew’s understanding and implementation of the rig contractor’s health, safety and environmental management system processes and procedures. This will involve a dedicated HSE auditor to attend the rig and assess the onboard crews. 

Onshore, a separate ModuSpec team will provide support during the start-up of a 1,500hp land drilling rig, from the point of raising the mast to being accepted onto contract in the Western Desert. A further team is in country to carry out an inspection of a 2,000hp land rig whilst operational for another operator. 

Mark Watson, Operations Director with ModuSpec, said: 
“We have been working in Egypt for over 25 years (through our local partner Yadco for Petroleum Services) and have a long track record of delivering projects onshore and offshore - everything from onshore pulling units to offshore 6th generation drillships. Our company is well-known in Egypt for delivering high quality rig intake services as well as our technical training – where we have several Rig Inspection Workshops scheduled for later in 2025.

“Our technical teams are busy in the preparation phase, and we look forward to growing our existing market presence in Egypt and expanding the provision of our BOP real-time monitoring capabilities.”
