Weatherford Petroleum Consultants

Improving the bottom line is the goal of many managers, and while there are numerous ways to achieve it, engaging a consulting group is often considered controversial. To alleviate the uncertainty in making the decision to hire a consulting group and more importantly which consulting group to hire, Weatherford has developed a consulting philosophy based on the following principles:

• Intense listening
• Insightful questioning
• Collaborative processes
• Implementation plan of creative ideas

Weatherford Petroleum Consultants are unique in the industry in that we spend as much or more time listening as we do providing ideas and analysis for improvement. There is no “one size-fits-all approach” with Weatherford Petroleum Consultants because we know that each client is different and within each client’s organization there are different methodologies, cultures, and structures that need to be considered.

With the goal of growing profits, we partner with you to accomplish specific partial or completely outsourced projects in exploration, field development, and production optimization. Rather than take on a task and return with our solution, we take a collaborative approach that involves regular communication along the planning and implementation stages.

The worldwide reach of Weatherford, coupled with our consultants who have expertise in exploration, development, and production, creates a responsive team that provides the speed and accuracy in upstream consulting with minimal disruption to your organization throughout the process. Weatherford consulting customers around the world have become long-term clients on multiple projects because they discovered the positive price-benefit ratio delivered by Weatherford.
