“Star Energy Group plc had a positive experience using Consortium Drilling for the abandonment of a deep shale well in 2023. The rig performed well despite the challenging nature of the project, with no Non-Productive Time (NPT) recorded. The equipment, including the top drive and automatic catwalk, exceeded expectations, and the rig floor’s layout and organisation were highly appreciated by Star Energy team. Star Energy plans to utilise Rig 4 in future geothermal well projects onshore in the UK, reflecting their confidence in its performance.”
