FDS uses a digital asset management / ERP system to track the complete service and repair history of every drilling tool, casing and wear part. Each item receives a detailed on-hire inspection before it leaves our yard, and a full off-hire inspection when it returns. This ensures full visibility into tool condition, maintenance requirements and safety. All repairs are carried out by FDS specialists following strict manufacturer specifications.
FDS provides high-performance German drilling tools without the need for upfront investment. All tools are maintained to manufacturer standards, and FDS manages repairs, inspections, logistics and storage. Our large inventory of casings, buckets, augers, core barrels and casing oscillators reduces long lead times and keeps projects moving. Using low-quality knockoff tools often results in slow drilling, high wear, frequent repairs and even tool loss; FDS tools consistently outperform cheaper alternatives, saving contractors significant time and cost.
