The GroundForce Six Step Process for Success

  1. Safety program
    • Aligned with the Energy Resources Conservation Board, Canadian Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors, ENFORM – The Safety Association for Canada’s upstream Oil and Gas Industry and *ISN Networld.
    • Integrated safety policies and procedures from industrial standards.
    • Comprehensive site specific safety programs developed, meetings, hazard assessment, reporting.
    • WHMIS, H2S, First Aid, PST Training, TDG and PPE
  2. Predrilling site assessment
    • Predrilling assessment undertaken from a drilling engineering perspective.
    • Complete job site analysis to critically examine all aspects of the drilling process from access to site mobilization, environmental controls, specific site safety protocols, drilling waste management protocols, material handling, production monitoring and quality control through to exit mobilization.
  3. On-site project management
    • GroundForce Project Manager integration with Construction Site Manager.
    • Review of project scope, individual responsibilities and realistic timeline expectations.
    • Dedicated site supervisors identified and communication protocols established.
    • Confirmation of production schedules, determination of borehole placements and safety protocols.
    • Extensive use of RIG MASTER™ Electronic Data recording—performance costs, tracking and documentation.
    • Provide daily safety meetings and reports.
    • Provide daily production reports.
    • Provide waste management controls and reports.
    • Determine equipment maintenance schedules to reduce downtime.
