UPSTREAM ENERGY
Vaangden partners with new entrants acquiring oil and gas assets by providing early-stage diligence, project and operational insights, and guidance through the purchase, transition, and operational-readiness phases. We support sustainable operations across exploration, development, and production by establishing execution plans, defining procedures, identifying best practices, and managing work programs to achieve safe, timely, and cost-efficient project delivery.
We also work with established operators—particularly those managing mature or late-life assets—seeking innovative, cost-effective approaches to enhance production or reduce operating costs. Our approach is asset-specific, grounded in operational reality, and built on the principle of “thinking like an operator.”
Every project is treated as unique, with a defined lifecycle requiring precise, fit-for-purpose solutions. Our experienced team manages the core constraints of technology (quality), schedule, and cost, while providing competent, operations-ready personnel for supervision and execution. We also offer targeted training to close workforce skill gaps and strengthen competencies, including HSE capability.
DRILLING
Vaangden supports clients who require full oversight of their drilling operations by functioning as an integrated in-house operations department. We manage the complete lifecycle of drilling activities, including planning, well design, sourcing of equipment, services and personnel, contract management, invoice administration, regulatory and technical support, field execution, demobilization, and final site closure. Our technical and field expertise ensures safe, reliable, and cost-effective delivery across drilling, completions, and workover programs.
Our drilling and completion engineering specialists provide end-to-end support for well construction—from initial planning and detailed well design to on-rig supervision and post-drilling activities. We also offer engineering and project management services covering well integrity, peer reviews, and operational assurance. Through strong technical collaborations, Vaangden extends its capabilities to reservoir engineering, asset management, production operations, and geophysical consultancy.
