Darcy Appoints Business Development Expert
Completions and sand management specialist Darcy has appointed a business development manager, Mark Presslie, in its latest move to support the introduction of a new technology-led solution to optimise oil and gas reservoir inflow. Experienced industry figure Presslie has joined the Darcy team to meet the customer service requirements in the company’s growth following the launch of its Critical Matrix Management technology.
The solution, which provides a low-risk and high-value sand management completions method, has recently successfully undergone several operator-sponsored projects to provide independent verification of its performance characteristics. Mark Presslie: “This is a great time to be joining Darcy. Entering the commercialisation phase means it matches exactly my experiences of supporting customers in all aspects of design, planning and execution.”
Results
“The tests generated performance results that were even better than had been expected and served to underpin our conviction that the technology takes completions work into new realms of possibility. I look forward to engaging with the industry to demonstrate how we can make it work to the significant benefit of operators in energy provinces around the world”, comments Mark, who is is a long-standing completions specialist. He has provided expert technical support to a host of major operators in projects worldwide and has presented technical literature to many industry forums.
Alternative
“We’re delighted to have Mark on board at a time when the capabilities of our Critical Matrix Management technology are becoming ever more apparent. We’re confident he will prove to be a real asset to the team during these exciting times ahead”, says chief executive Steve Bruce. “The technology represents an alternative to conventional completion methods such as gravel packing and expandable screens. Those are able to help operators address sand mobility in the near wellbore – but they cannot address the source of the problem, beyond the near wellbore and in the formation, as our technology does”, he adds.
