subject: Anchor Analysis And Related Services From Sta Ensure Drilling Operations Stay Competitive In The Fie [print this page] Since being founded in 1986, the approach taken by Stewart Technology Associates when it comes to conducting analysis of offshore structures and the range of other services we provide has proven to be one that has yielded many benefits for our clients. The continued success and building of our reputation has made STA one of the most well respected and trusted names in all of the marine drilling industry. When a drilling operation wants to ensure that their pile anchors are operating at optimal levels, they know that they can call upon STA to conduct an anchor analysis that will identify any areas that are underperforming so that changes can be made.
When STA analyzes the performance of any offshore structures, whether that's pile anchors, steel catenary risers, single point moorings or wave power systems, it's done with level of expertise that has become increasingly rare in the industry. Many consultancy firms are becoming more specialized in the services they provide in an attempt to carve a niche for the company. STA believes broadening our focus rather than narrowing it is ultimately more valuable. Conducting an anchor analysis and using that data in the broader assessment of the operation is key to making major adjustments that will lead to better performance, efficiency and safety.
Long time clients of Stewart Technology know that they can always count on our services to be thorough but also affordable. In order to be so thorough and ensure that the results of an anchor analysis are accurate and credible, STA uses OrcaFlex software made by Orcina. OrcaFlex is a program that's well-known in the drilling industry. It's currently used by over 170 organizations across the world because of the value it offers to drilling operations of any type or size.
Continually looking for ways to improve all aspects of your drilling operation is a key part of remaining competitive in an industry that rapidly changes. There will always be new technologies and processes introduced so being prepared to adapt to these changes is a key component in sustained relevancy. Achieving this goal is something that STA not only illustrates directly but assists clients in achieving through the analysis of their offshore structures and other processes they use, such as spill containment and oil spill cleanup. Having a forward thinking approach is extremely important in a field that constantly evolves.
