Our technical personnel have a team-integrated approach, with much historical success. The academic depth and logistical capabilities brought by OG Petroleum Consulting are an excellent balance for the “western style” pragmatism of the company. Strong relationships with a myriad of service companies and independent laboratories, both in Europe and in the US, allows Discovery to move with agility and efficiency when others might be bogged down in bureaucracy and indecision. Add to that the depth of experience of this team, and the job just gets done!
