About
Maxwell’s core values have been shaped over more than 10 years of delivering the finest oil & gas services to our clients. They stood to the test of time and these principles remain our bedrock lynchpins. We never tried to cut on either quality, the pace of work or any other aspect. We stay true to our full promise of efficiency!
Our love for detailed, bullet-point preparations, as well as to open and clear project management and communication is what makes us faster than the competition. Recently we compared a technically similar oil & gas well we’ve built and installed pipes for and the other serviced by our main competitor. Their price and pace was 2 times lower than hours!
Quality is focal in every little aspect of the construction. The mindset of both our senior employees and all the way to our on-site contractors and construction workers centers on attention. It’s out attention to details that allows us to work on a multitude of projects simultaneously, while staying on schedule!
