Energy
Introducing the Nova-1
At Webster Drilling we understand that land-based drilling is all about maximising safety and drilling efficiency, while minimising rig down time.
That’s why the Nova-1 drilling package has been carefully designed and configured for minimum hazard exposure, process efficiency, and rapid rig moves to maximise the operators uptime, without sacrificing drilling power and capability.
Webster Drilling developed the Nova-1 drilling package using our innovative engineering experience, extensive manufacturing history, and our broad spectrum of drilling knowledge. This valuable understanding has been gained from the thousands of projects we have successfully delivered to our clients throughout the world.
Webster Drilling values safe, efficient, accurate and reliable engineering design in its plant and equipment, alongside innovation, experience and integrity in its personnel. Our values and skill-sets, combined with our dedication to succeed, makes the Nova-1 a drilling package committed to delivering cost effective drilling and workover operations to our local, national and international clients.
We strive to always find the most appropriate drilling solution for our clients’ projects, minimising our impact on the environment, while keeping our staff, stakeholders and the public safe from harm.

Engineering
From the beginning, Webster Drilling & Exploration’s key area of expertise has been developing new ideas and taking on challenging projects.
At the heart of the company is a fully equipped mechanical and fabrication workshop, supported by a team of highly experienced engineers, mechanics and designers.
Over more than 40 years, WDE has designed and manufactured drilling rigs, heli-portable air compressors, grouting equipment, heli-portable ancillary equipment, rock anchoring and micropiling equipment, along with many other bespoke, sometimes one-off, solutions.
Many of these machines have gone on to be produced in larger numbers and continually refined, with WDE’s contract drilling experience driving ongoing innovation, improvements and new designs.
