The international oilfield services company Discovery Energy Services continues its solid expansion process in Colombia, achieving growth results beyond normal parameters.
The close of 2012 resulted in a 3000% increase in revenue compared to what was
generated in 2009.
The company had 4 employees in 2008; by 2013 it grew to 350 direct employees, and by
2014 it is projected to exceed 500 direct employees.
In its line of Drilling, Completion, and Workover Rigs, Discovery Energy Services
currently offers the Colombian industry 10 rigs. The increase in the number of rigs
is due to significantly high utilization, thanks to current contracts with companies
such as: PETROBRAS, CHEVRON, PAREX Resources, GEOPARK, PETROMINERALES, EMERALD
ENERGY, PERENCO, NEW GRANADA, among other important operating companies in the
country. The company is developing large-scale, highly successful projects for its
clients.
“I am proud and satisfied to know that the organization has achieved operational and
QHSE results that allow us to feel confident as we approach the goal of completing 3
years without lost-time incidents on our rigs,” says Jairo Alfredo Peralta, Chief
Executive Officer of the company. “We closed 2012 with zero accidents and
operational incidents — results that in our line of work clearly demonstrate the
extraordinary quality of the professionals and technicians that make up our
organization and our adherence to processes and solid standards.”
“We have grown rapidly and will continue to do so sustainably, based on our policy
of zero corruption, transparency, and complete honesty. It has been clear how all
our clients feel comfortable with Discovery Energy, and it’s evident that they want
and are able to renew their contracts without hesitation or doubt. In the oil
industry, it’s clear that our company does not offer bribes or handle contracts
dishonestly. Currently, all our clients, without exception, feel confident renewing
their contracts with us — many of which have been ongoing for several years without
concerns — thanks to the business conduct managed by the organization and the
overall results it delivers,” adds Jairo Alfredo Peralta.
During the years of operation in Colombia — 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and
through 2013 — the company has had no reported cases of occupational illness. The
projects have consistently maintained client evaluation scores with average ratings
above 4.5 out of a maximum of 5.0.
“Our goal for 2013 is to continue growing with absolute operational excellence,
maintaining our core values as our hallmark and continuing to gain market share to
further our national and international growth process,” concludes Jairo Alfredo
Peralta, CEO.
