Vendors offer products and services that are crucial in all facets of the lifecycle of a well. With each project typically involving 25+ vendors that the producer is responsible for keeping track of, eld supervisor’s days are divided between reporting on actual operations and coordinating with all of their contracted vendors. When you’re looking at price vs cost for the services you need, and with everyone keeping a tight hold on their purse strings these days, how do you get the best possible price, without sacrificing quality, all while staying organized and in control of your project costs? Do you go with the lowest priced bid and chance a sub-par product this time because it’s all you can afford when your regular supplier is just too expensive?
