Arctic Drilling AS was founded on November 14, 2001, in Kautokeino. The company is owned and operated by Roy Anders Karlsen (75%) and Kjetil Larsen (25%) from Kautokeino.

The company’s primary business is core and diamond drilling for both Norwegian and international clients. To date, we have only undertaken projects in Norway and on Svalbard, but we are also available for projects abroad.

Since its founding, the company has owned a Diamec 251 drilling rig. Subsequently, it has invested in drilling rigs of the following models: Diamec 252 and Diamec U6. In addition, the company has invested in a Moroca, onto which the drilling rigs can be mounted.

The company’s core strength lies in the expertise of our employees. We have a young and talented team. The company is committed to quality and customer satisfaction. The company has 8 employees. With both machines in operation, the company can employ 16 people.

The company’s employees have extensive experience from drilling projects across the country. Both owners are actively involved in the crew and lead their own teams. Employees work 14-day shifts of 12 hours a day. They then have a 14-day break.

Arctic Drilling AS is actively working to enhance expertise in diamond drilling in the inner Finnmark region and provides ongoing training for new crew members.
