DrillPlus Coring has successfully run 3 jobs for NESET consulting in North Dakota over the past 6 months. NESET Consulting is one of the leading geological consultants in the Bakken, offering a range of services from production operations, engineering, mudlogging to gas analysis.
 
NESET Consulting employed DrillPlus Coring to assist them with coring, initially on traditional oil and gas wells. This has now expanded to also coring sections of salt caverns, with a view to using these to store methane gas.
 
Larry Dokken, an industry veteran with over 56 years of experience and a recent inductee into the North Dakota Petroleum Council Hall of Fame, oversees Operations for NESET. This includes leading and managing the well plugging and abandonment program, which successfully plugged 284 wells in just 4 months.
 
“Coring is an essential part of our projects”, explained Larry. “We’ve never used DrillPlus Coring before, but the service they’ve provided has been excellent, they’ve exceeded our expectations.”
 
The experience of the team, along with their commitment to open and honest communication from management have been key to project’s success.
 
The coring specialists, including Rusty Linn, Elliot Mackie, Vic White, and Julian Galvan along with Brian Bentley on the processing team, were always set up ahead of time, making it easier for everyone else on site to complete their own elements of the project.
 
“And the quality of the cores has been top notch”, Larry comments, “the lab has been really impressed with what they received.”
 
“Developing strong partnerships with our client’s matters to us,” John Mackie, DrillPlus Coring Director replies. “We’re not focused on a single core run, but on how we can help our clients achieve a greater understanding of their wells on an ongoing basis. We appreciate the trust NESET Consulting put in us, especially Larry.”
