Star Valley 205 has been unloaded in Trinidad New RigToday 11:29
Let’s talk about the rig - a Star Valley 205 from Star Valley drilling in alberta, international division. There is lots of interesting material on their website. The rig has a three hour set up time and they have a time lapse video.
It has a canadian crew. They didn’t come on the Zia Servant so wonder if they are in Trinidad and have passed covid protocols. I am assuming they are all vaccinated. This will be a little departure for the company as so far every aspect of the Trinidad operation has been local sourced - except only the company principals based in Calgary. (Well Services Rig drilling royston well has experienced Trinidad crew.) This changed will require a little culture change with good communication with the Trinidad leaders including head geologist Xavier Moonan and also operations manager Christopher George. I hope there are workers from trinidad on the rig and that they all build an effective team. Maybe they will let us know who is leading that drilling team and what their background and experience.
Here is one little blurb from the Star Valley website.
