Drilling Systems, part of 3T Energy Group, has struck a deal for the management buy-out of its consultancy business.
The Drilling Systems’ Integrated Advisory Service (IAS) has been acquired by Graeme Eglintine, previously Vice President of Drilling Systems’ IAS and MENA Region.
IAS was established in 2016 and has been highly successful in providing bespoke training, development, competence and talent management solutions for the drilling, well control and lifting sectors around the globe with Drilling Systems’ technology at their core.
The management buy-out will allow Drilling Systems to focus on its market-leading simulator business and advance 3T Energy Group’s vision to transform the global energy training sector through technology.
Both Drilling Systems and the new consultancy business will continue to work closely together and have signed a long-term collaboration agreement to enhance their respective customer offers.
