Areas of Expertise

While drilling and drilling services remain at the core of our identity, we recognize the need for adaptability in today’s dynamic offshore energy landscape

To meet evolving industry demands, we have developed strong & robust expertise across the following broad range of services:

Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD)

H&P delivers advanced MPD services through an exclusive global alliance with Pruitt , a leading U.S. provider of MPD technology and services. This partnership combines H&P’s global infrastructure and engineering capabilities with Pruitt’s specialized expertise to deliver enhanced well control, reduced risk and improved drilling efficiency.

Our MPD services are fully integrated into offshore operations and are particularly valuable in complex well environments where pressure management is critical. Our MPD capabilities include:

Standard and customized MPD packages for offshore and land applications

MPD well engineering and rig integration

Design, manufacturing and installation of rotating control devices and manifolds

Bespoke training and commissioning support

Machine-learning control systems capable of pressure adjustments of ±5 psi in under 15 seconds

Whether integrated into new builds or retrofitted to existing rigs, our MPD systems are engineered for reliability and performance – helping operators drill safer, faster and with greater control.

Plug & Abandonment

H&P supports safe, efficient and compliant end-of-life well strategies through our P&A services. Our offshore teams are experienced in de-completion, intervention, and abandonment scopes, helping clients meet regulatory requirements while minimizing operational complexity and cost.

We approach P&A with the same professionalism and integration that define our drilling operations. Our P&A services include:

De-completion and well intervention

Rig modification and optimization for P&A

Planning and execution aligned with regional regulatory requirements

Collaboration with service providers to reduce operating time per well

The manner by which the team both onshore and the full team offshore have taken to the challenges of decommissioning these wells and overcoming daily challenges with a can-do, proactive, safety-focused attitude has been very heartening to see. Operations have been approached in a highly professional manner, integrated with our goals.
