Engineered for the energy sector
The Challenge Remote drilling sites feature soft, unstable or environmentally sensitive terrain that cannot support heavy rig equipment without significant ground preparation — adding cost and schedule risk.
The Solution JWA oilfield rig mats create engineered platforms for drilling operations in the most remote and challenging locations, protecting the environment while supporting the heaviest loads.
Remote oilfield sites feature unstable terrain that cannot support heavy drilling equipment unaided.
Oilfield operations risk contaminating sensitive land through spills and uncontrolled ground disturbance.
Difficult terrain and ground prep at remote locations drives up operational costs and delays drilling.
Deploy rapid access systems that protect the environment while supporting heavy loads.
Engineered composite mats distribute weight effectively, preventing bogging and ground damage.
Quick installation and removal means minimal downtime and maximum productivity.
Our systems provide reliable access in any weather conditions, keeping projects on schedule.
Durable construction allows for multiple deployments, reducing overall project costs.
JWA provides wellsite mat layout plans to optimise the configuration for the specific rig package and ancillary equipment. This planning step ensures efficient mat usage and minimises the total number of panels required.
On environmentally sensitive wellsites, mat platforms are often integrated with bunded spill containment systems. JWA can advise on combined configurations that satisfy both operational and environmental requirements.
Real-world examples of how composite matting solves access challenges for oilfield rig mats projects.
The Korobosea rig site and Moro base camp were among the first locations in PNG to utilise Dura-Base Composite Matting for oilfield rig mats, breaking a 50-year trend of using timber. This innovative method provided a solid footing for campsite flooring and rig locations, leading to the successful completion of the drilling program.
Queensland, QLD
The Moonie Oilfields developmental program faced delays due to rain-affected well sites. Dura-Base Composite Matting System was mobilised to provide a safe, reliable platform for oil operations, supporting the program across multiple sites over a three-month period.
Springvale, QLD
Our client drilled to find coal and gather the gas that is pumped out for commercial export. This coal seam gas project required reliable ground support systems for drilling operations on soft ground.
India
Dura-Base oilfield mats created a safe work platform for Weatherford’s Rig 807 drilling operations in India. The unique movable rig subbase exerted extreme pressure of over 175,000 lbs per tire, which the Dura-Base composite system handled successfully.
