 How We Work Minimize


NDB Ltd was formed in 2003 to fill in the gap in the way external resources are provided to the oil and gas industry. The directors believe that it is possible to fully engage with client projects without the high cost of current full service providers.
We now provide other Petrotechnical and IT support services to the upstream oil and gas industry, as well as major programme management and implementation services within a wider community.

Our aim is to deliver a business focused successful project with ISO quality delivery methods at competitive prices.

Our background has been with oil and gas services and we have developed a Managed Service Delivery (MSD) process for our onsite staff that challenges and stimulates better understanding of need and facilities a more effective utilisation of the resource. We don't sell software and have no affiliations with particular solutions: independence, flexibility and low cost are allowing us to grow our client base 50% in 2005.

NDB Directors have on average 20 years experience in the Professional Services business in the upstream oil and gas market and have probably made every mistake in the consultancy book. The key to success is to learn something from those mistakes and we think we have an honest approach. We work a business model with an ultimate aim to build trust with clients. Trust is earned through repeated timely and consistent results from more transactional engagements. As Business issues become wider and more complex, the value of a Trust Based Relationship is higher.

NDB Rules of Engagement:

1. When we don't know, we'll try not to pretend otherwise.

2. We need your engagement throughout and will not jump to ready-made solutions, tempting as they are.

3. We will attempt to prove our value to your organisation by: peer-reviewing and coaching the work of our colleagues, by planning Quarterly Performance Reviews and by ensuring that more expensive resources are withdrawn when their work is done.

4. When we're done, we're done. Our job is not to take over an operational role.
