Douglas Hay founded ADC in 1985 to challenge what was deemed acceptable in the offshore industry. His vision was to make the industry safer, cleaner and more efficient by providing independent assurance to Energy companies hiring rigs and vessels.

Douglas’ vision remains at the heart of what we do and is applied to rigs within the Oil and Gas sector, Geothermal or CCUS, in addition to the specialist vessels used to build wind farms of the future. Today our team of over 60 professionals are committed to driving safety, operational and environmental performance – supporting the majority of the world’s leading Energy companies.

Challenging the status Quo for over 35 years

Renewables

Providing operational assurance on complex vessels used in offshore wind farm construction and rigs used in Geothermal Drilling and Carbon Capture and Storage projects.

Oil & Gas

Providing rig inspection and audit services of drilling rigs throughout the entire lifecycle. Specialising in drilling & marine equipment, BOP & well control equipment, cyber control systems and HSE management systems.

“Clients place a long term trust in our business and we don’t take that lightly. ADC’s job is to protect the interests of our clients by ensuring the risk to their operations is mitigated to as low as reasonably possible.”
Austin Hay, Director

“ADC’s wealth of experience providing independent operational assurance during the new building boom in O&G and our continued involvement during recommissioning/reactivation of jack-ups, DP drilling rigs and vessels makes us ideally placed to support clients placing new build WTIV orders in offshore wind.”
Craig Duncan, Business Development Manager

“I must say I am impressed with the standard of the daily reports we are receiving from your ADC offshore team on the rig! Technically informative and lots of good photographs!”
Drilling Superintendent

Case Studies

Jacking Systems – Cyber Control Systems

ADC recognise that modern control systems are designed to protect the equipment, vessel and prevent operator error. In order to achieve this it is essential that crews are adequately trained on the systems that they are operating.

Case Studies

6th Generation Drillship – Rig Acceptance

ADC was awarded a contract by an Oil and Gas Operator for the provision of drilling rig acceptance services; the objective of which was to assess the rig fit for purpose & to ensure it could be safely operated in accordance with specific requirements.

Case Studies

DP3 Drillship – Rig Selection

ADC recognise that not all DP3, dual activity derrick Drillships are created equal. There will be different levels of capability, efficiency, competence & safety.

Case Studies

How Much Does a Rig Reactivation Really Cost?

In ADC’s experience, the effectiveness of the preservation methods can only be assessed once reactivation of the equipment & systems has commenced.

Oil & Gas

API Updates – Is Your BOP Compliant?

Despite changes to API 16A having been in place since 2018, BOPs are still being found non-compliant during ADC rig & BOP inspections.

Case Studies

Tubular Handling – Cyber Control Systems

ADC Tubular Handling Assessments have highlighted the problems and lessons learned associated with single-point human barriers present within the drilling system that could result in dropped tubulars, dynamic dropped objects or equipment damage.
