Furthermore, this segment provides well construction services, including tubular running operations and downhole tools, alongside well intervention services that feature whipstock and fishing products with their associated support. Complementing these offerings are inspection and machine shop support services, all tailored for exploration and production companies, drilling contractors, and other service providers operating both on land and offshore.
