Decades of experience

In the mid-1970s, Odfjell Drilling identified the need for a dedicated drilling tool rental company while procuring equipment for newly acquired H-3 rigs and drawing on operational experience from its early years as a drilling contractor. This led to the creation of Odfjell Rental, headquartered in Stavanger. In 1977, the company entered the UK market as Odfjell Drilling & Consulting Company (ODCC UK), establishing bases in Aberdeen and later Great Yarmouth. The rental division became a key part of the business, and in 1982, its capabilities expanded to include tubular running services, strengthening Odfjell Drilling’s position in the market.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Odfjell Drilling’s Casing & Rental division became a cornerstone of the company’s global well services capabilities, operating in key offshore and onshore oil and gas markets including Norway, the UK, the Netherlands, Canada, Singapore, Vietnam, and Australia.

This growth led to the formation of Odfjell Well Services (OWS) in the mid-1990s, specialising in advanced well intervention, tubular running services, and drilling tool solutions. In the early 2000s, OWS expanded into the Middle East through the acquisition of NTera LTD in the United Arab Emirates, adding wellbore clean-up and fishing services to its portfolio and driving in-house engineering innovation.

On 28 March 2022, Odfjell Drilling restructured, creating Odfjell Technology as a separate company, with OWS becoming its dedicated Well Services division. Today, Odfjell Technology’s Well Services operates bases across Europe, Americas, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific, delivering safe, reliable, and efficient well services that maximise operational performance for global clients.

Recognised for leadership in tubular running services hands-free technology and innovative drilling tools, the division is ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and API Q2 certified, reflecting its ongoing commitment to quality, safety, and environmental protection.
