the end of Jorld.\?m2 the Middle East was at the beginning

trade, are the ones who stay in the industryand who are willing
to work overseas, Sone of then change their jobs frequently,
perhapswanting a change in location,and crop up regularly,as
itwere, on the circuit of cverseas contrfietora,
Ml this is not conduciveto stable Iaboiarrelations and
ihe .uaintencume
of technicalcoqwtence and the situatiomis
not helped by the fqch that some contractorspayscales are well
below oil company standards.
For tho reasons outlinedshove many contractorsprefer to
---enploy a high proportionof Europeanswho, generallyspea?ii:ng,
are teuperamentall.y
well suited to foreign contract conditions
and who can be retained for lower salaries. This is certuinly
,truefor the rig nec!mnicj a most.vitalnember of the team, who
is responsiblefor keeping the drilling equipmentrunnin~. A
iyge particularlysuited for this work is the ex-naval ~nginoer,
who isused to running similarnachineryunder difficult conditions.
Europeanacccuntan+sandstorekeepersare also well suited for
the overseascontractorand are fairly easily found.
e
The contractor
providesa service in two nain directions.
Firstly, he offers equi.pnent
and expertisefor drillingwells.
Secondly,he offers a highly mobile and impermanentnems of
oilfielddevelop~ent, To be ccrqmtitivein sel?.infi
these services
he must have nodern ri~s and transportand be able to move
nachineryand caup between locationsin a minizim of time.
Several years ago the contrnct rig and cpupwcs considerably
faster in c]ovingthan the average company rig. This was ac?zieved
by buyin~ rigs and cwaps already unitized by the manufacturerand
by using speciallyde~i~n~dheavy transport. I%e gap has narrowed
now, however, and at least one company clains, that by using
criticalpath techniques,they are able to uove as fast, if not
faster, than its.coa%ractors, hsi ocntractc)rs
have realised&at,
in order to retain staff in what are usually unpleasantworking
conditions,good living quarters and firot-classfood must be
provicled,There is no room for econonyhere and high standards
have to be maintained.

(a) Trends
The purpose of this section is to exmine changes in the
pattern of supply ant demand of drillingnaterialswhich could
ho attributedto the previouslyreported changes in cilfield
development.
i1
k!?nuiacturers
in the U.S.A. have a large donesticnerket in
NcrtA and South America to enable then hoincreasetheir,
productionruns, Already in L%rope there are too many licensees,
particularlyon th~ heavy equipmentside, chasing too few orders,
(b) The Sutmlyl{cuse
It has been sug~estedexmy tines that the U.S. skylo supply
house woiildbe the answer to both the contractors canal
the
manufacturirs
problems. E&t cn closa exaninaticmthe pitfalls
are formidablefor any individualor coinpanyintcmdingto enter
the field.
,1
The first proble~~is ttiatof geography. ~RQ total ~an~~r
of active m::rscm
rigs is snail and they are widzly scntterm?.
tibcondly,
SOEMcountries,for exmplc Libya, have laws,whichMake
it difficultfor foreignersto set up business. Thirdly, drilling
rigs, eventhosebelonging to the some contrectorlrarely confo~
to anystaudardand a large variety of spares would have tobe
handled, Fourthly,even if a supply store were sitwted in the
right place and stockedwittithe right inaterial,it would be
difficultto extract a Suaranteefrom the operatorsor con+.ractors
that they would not p~chase at a discount direct fron the
manufacturersthrough their own purchaainfl
departncnts,thus bypassing the supply store.

(a)
Abowt five years ago the major companiesout~ide the United
Statea started to look to cmrtraotorsto supplemnrttheirdrillin~
effort. It wov.ldbe true to say that, although so~e of these
conpanieshad American affiliateswhich had been employing
contractorsfor many yaars in ovcaweasareas such as Sou.+hArnericat
they themselveshad very little experiencein negotiatin~contracts,
presentinginvitationsto tender and evaluatingbids,
R6sGcL&Ji9q
of Oilwell DrillingContractors
The American ~
had, sone years ago,-groducedstandard forms for the domestic
industryin order to siuplifyand standardizethe task for both
operatorsand contractors. But these have not satisfiedthe
pecul%ar requirementof an overseascontractwhich necessarily
has to cover a more coriIpIsx
set ofcircumstances,perhaps embracing
foreign laws and certainlyinvolvinggreater risks for both parties
to the coatriict.
It was not surprising,therefore,that sone contractssiGned
at that time were complicatedlegal/%echnicaldocumantawhich
tried unsuccessfullyto allow for every contingencywhich could
occur, sanctioningor rewardingthe contractoraccording to
circumstance. The legs+ phraseologyof the documents,at the time
considerednecessary to eliminateambiguity,only served to mako
their interpretationdifficultto i?i~ldpersonn@lwho hod to work
to the terms therein.:In the highly complex drilling situa-bion
it
is iupomible to foresee every eventuality,
Recognisin&these shortcomingsthe parties are now attempting
to make contracts
as siqlc as possibleand are trying to usc clear
everyday phraseologywhich can be understoodand acted on by
drilling crews reuote from lecal advice,
I?ecessarily,
this has perhaps detractedfrorathe legal tightnesstof the contractbut as it is never possibleto nake it watertight the result has been to accentuatethe partnership,as it were,
of the operatorand the contractorin the task of drilling the well.
The increase of the discretionaryelement in the fram~workof the
contractrequiresa good deal Qf give and take by both porties and
fairly liberal interpretationsof controversialclauses we possible
without recrimination.

Om corqxmywould like to see cmuplotelyturnkey contracts. A
secondwould like the contractorto grovide all natcrialsp
transport,communications,aviation,etc~ but would wish to retain
coinpletely
oontrol over drilling techniques,drillingengineering
and mud control. A third cow,?any
WOUIC1prefer to hire the rig
and personnelon a pure day-work basis. It claius tb.atis has
found from experiencethat contractorsoporating footage contracta
lxncl
to settle do~m to a uoderate pace at which they are earning &
fair bonus but not overtraining their machinery, In which c=el
the operator say~, he would prefer to have the grzater control

(d) ~ongth of Contract
I>&relyis the overseas contractor
in the fortunateposition
of being able to arrmge
the continuityof his chilling c%ntrncts
so that when h.afiniehed one he is able to send hisrig and camp
dircckly ho the next one. On the other hand it is clif$icul+
for
the operatorto guaranteework for a con$raotorfor long periods.

be able to uaintaia his position.in a hiskly competitivemxr!~et~
at the same time depreciatinghis equipment costs and providing
binselfwith a reaso~ablereturn on his capital? The plain cmswor
is that he cannot, under.the present systen, do all these things
and the najor factor preventinghin is the method by which the
,
operator seleots the conimactoro The ~~bious rensonin~behind

It
is doubtfulwhether current selectionuetkods could be prcred to
