Safety Is the Foundation of Every ProDirectional Operation
At ProDirectional, safety is not a checklist or a poster on a wall. It is the foundation of how we operate every day across every rig, workshop, Remote Operations Center, and engineering office. Whether we are deploying a downhole motor in the Permian Basin, running MWD and survey services, or supporting operations from our ROC, protecting our people is the first priority in every decision we make.
Directional drilling, MWD, and downhole technology operate in some of the most demanding environments in the energy industry. High pressures, rotating equipment, electronics, heavy machinery, and complex well designs require disciplined safety systems and constant situational awareness. At ProDirectional, we build our entire operational framework around ensuring that every employee goes home safe, every shift, on every well.
A Safety Culture Built Into Every Department
Our safety culture is not limited to the field. It extends across every part of the organization.
In the field, ProDirectional implements comprehensive Job Safety Analysis (JSA), tailgate meetings, equipment inspections, and wellsite risk assessments before any operation begins. Our directional drillers, MWD specialists, and field engineers follow strict operating procedures designed to prevent incidents before they occur.
In our motor shops and repair facilities, safety protocols govern everything from tool handling and pressure testing to electronics diagnostics and machining operations. Each team member is trained not only in how to perform their job, but how to perform it safely in a high-risk industrial environment.
Inside our Remote Operations Center and engineering departments, safety means maintaining reliable systems, clear communication, and redundancy in monitoring and control. Real-time data, telemetry systems, and performance monitoring allow us to detect abnormal conditions early and support field crews before small issues become major incidents.
Training That Goes Beyond Compliance
ProDirectional’s safety program goes far beyond minimum regulatory requirements. We invest heavily in training because knowledge is one of the strongest tools for preventing accidents in oilfield operations.
Our teams receive continuous education on:
-
Well control and pressure management
-
Downhole tool handling and maintenance
-
Electrical and electronic safety for MWD and telemetry systems
-
Rig site hazard awareness
-
Emergency response procedures
-
Environmental and spill prevention
This training ensures that every employee understands not only what to do, but why it matters. Safety is reinforced at every level, from new hires to senior leadership.
Protecting the People Behind the Technology
Directional drilling and measurement while drilling are technology-driven services. But behind every piece of equipment is a person.
ProDirectional recognizes that our employees are our most valuable asset. Our safety systems are designed to protect field crews working long hours on high-intensity drilling programs, shop technicians working with heavy components and high-pressure equipment, and engineers managing complex systems.
We actively encourage employees to speak up if something does not look safe. Stop-work authority is embedded in our culture. If a job does not feel safe, it does not proceed until the risk is understood and addressed.
Why Safety Matters to Our Customers
Safety is not just good for our employees. It is also critical for our customers.
A safe drilling operation is a productive drilling operation. When crews are properly trained, tools are maintained, and risks are managed proactively, wells are drilled faster, with less non-productive time and fewer incidents.
Our customers trust ProDirectional with high-value wells, expensive downhole equipment, and complex well plans. Our safety systems protect not only people, but also well integrity, drilling schedules, and capital investments.
A Commitment That Never Stops
Safety is not something we “finish.” It is something we continuously improve.
We regularly review incidents, near misses, and operational data to identify trends and opportunities to improve our procedures. As ProDirectional expands its use of automation, remote operations, and high-performance drilling technology, safety remains the core principle guiding every new system we deploy.
From the Permian Basin to every basin we operate in, ProDirectional remains committed to building a workplace where people feel protected, respected, and empowered to do their jobs at the highest level.
Because at ProDirectional, we do not just drill wells.
We protect the people who make it possible.
