Functioning as the center of MS Directional's MWD and Directional operations, all information flows through GOTEC® (Global Operations Technical Evaluation Center) to ensure success for each of our client partners. At our command center, headquartered in Houston, TX, GOTEC® is outfitted with multiple state-of-the-art workstations designed for the demands of MS Directional's 24/7 live monitoring and support operations.

We have a team of experienced, extensively trained well planners that work directly with our customers and coordinators to produce the most accurate well plans possible. While accuracy is vital to drilling success, we also stress perpetual safety and efficiency in our plans so that our customers see optimal value and returns on their projects.
We use Landmark COMPASS™ and AutoCAD®—both industry standard packages—to create customized well plans. Not only does this allow us an opportunity to maximize potential, but it also affords our customers an opportunity to visualize the approach and provide feedback before any drilling begins. We provide customers with well plan drawings, traveling cylinder plots, and well plots so that informed collaboration between all parties can occur.
We provide services including well design; AC monitoring and collision avoidance; identification of lease and hard line crossings; daily well updates; and end-of-well reporting. We have experience with multi-lateral, extended reach, turnazontal, s-well, build, and hold wells.
All of our field personnel are experienced in multi-well pad drilling, monitoring anti-collision at the field level, and providing expert opinions to improve results in your directional drilling application. We are team-oriented and strive to work as one with our customers.
