Subject Matter Experts
The work Add Energy did for our exploration well was thorough and by competent personnel. This was appreciated as valuable work by all involved parties and personnel in that project.
For our company, having an Independent Well Examiner is positive, also with the Insurance perspective, since we are listed on the London stock exchange and this system is a requirement and well-known system for UKCS wells.
