Welcome to Larchford

About Larchford
Larchford Limited was founded in 2006 and is the United Kingdom’s newest land based drilling contractor.
We determined there was a growing requirement for a drilling team to deliver wells to the UK land market. We took delivery of our first rig in January 2007. The rig is called “Drillmaster 1” and is providing drilling services on a long-term contract.

Our Vision
We create a well construction team capable of delivering wells which exceed clients’ quality, cost and time frame expectations under strict environmental conditions
Our Performance
Committed to best-in-class performance through continuous capture of experience and learning, we will try hard for ever improving performance because our reputation depends on it.
Key Well requirements:
- must be constructed efficiently
- we construct on time, and within budget
- must satisfy strict environmental conditions
- land use and noise reduction constraints
- time, cost, safety, quality, environment
