Paradigm has announced the opening of an expanded facility in Houston to support its continued growth. It will house its growing workforce and asset base, enabling the deployment of drilling technologies that lower the carbon impact and cost of traditional oil and gas exploration and production operations.

Jim Profit, Paradigm Drilling’s Chief Operating Officer, adds, "The launch of Paradigm Drilling Services USA, has been a natural progression for us, as we have grown a significant client base of partners and clients who use our suite of drilling tools."

In particular, Paradigm is looking to cater to the demand for their Driver - Traction Drill Collar Tool, which boasts a design and tool function that improves WOB transfer by mitigating pipe buckling which in turn reduces drilling dysfunction such as axial and lateral vibration as well as stick-slip.

Profit concludes, "We are looking to deliver real value to wells by offering a faster and more efficient service, whilst at the same time catering to our core values of saving our clients time and money through bespoke, unique drilling technology."
