      MAIN SERVICES

SAFEGUARD

The SafeGuard program provides its member-companies customized services including contingency plans, audits, critical well plan reviews, training, drills, field evaluations, and engineering support. Dedicated and readily available equipment and personnel based locally provide immediate response and recovery time when a critical incident occurs.

Specialized equipment includes fire fighting, fire suppression, environmental monitoring, and access to all types of heavy equipment that can be rapidly mobilized. SafeGuard specialists will possess a range of risk mitigation, incident command, and project management skills.

WELL CONTROL

Since the days of Red Adair and John Wayne's "Hellfighters" movie, much has changed in the energy industry. Advanced training, better designed and built equipment, and superior engineering have decreased the number of well blowouts and fires. At the same time, the procedures and challenges associated with such events have become more complex. With fewer events to learn from and downsized, younger engineering staffs, many energy companies are contracting with Boots & Coots Services to not only respond in the event of a blowout, but also to work to serve customers in preparedness and prevention.

ENGINEERING

Given the recent industry trends of consolidation and streamlining, operators have been forced to operate more efficiently thereby leading to staff reductions and loss of experienced personnel. As such, many companies have approached Boots & Coots Services requesting integrated well control engineering solutions. The result of which has lead to the development of a package of engineering services known as Engineering.

WELLSURE

WELLSURE® is an innovation to the traditional "Blowout" OEE Insurance Policy. WELLSURE® is the product of a special alliance between Boots & Coots Services, the premier well control company in the world, Global Special Risks, a leading international energy Managing General Agent and Underwriters at Lloyd's of London. The result is a unique, bundled package that includes a full range of Boots & Coots' well control preventive and post-event response services along with reliable well control insurance and "Cash Flow Enhancement" coverage.
