Paradigm Drilling Services is pleased to announce the appointment of Antonio Ospino as Country Manager for Mexico. This appointment reinforces Paradigm’s commitment to expanding its drilling optimization capabilities across Latin America following the recent strengthening of the company’s Houston-based leadership team with the appointment of Wes Heiskell.
Mr. Ospino recently completed an immersive visit to Paradigm’s facility in Houston, where he spent time with several of the company’s divisions and gained hands-on experience with the Driver® tool – a cornerstone of Paradigm’s drilling optimization offering.
Jim Profit, Chief Operating Officer at Paradigm Drilling Services, commented, “We are excited to welcome Antonio to the team, as we continue to grow our presence in Latin America. Operators in Mexico’s expanding horizontal drilling programs are actively seeking proven solutions to improve efficiency and reduce well costs. Antonio’s experience and market knowledge position him to deliver exactly that.”
“Drilling longer horizontal sections continues to push conventional systems to their limits, particularly when it comes to transferring effective weight on bit and managing friction,” Jim continues, “The Paradigm Driver® tool is a simple, field-proven solution that converts otherwise wasted side forces into forward traction, improving drilling efficiency and stabilising the BHA. By reducing friction, minimising vibration, and enhancing hole cleaning, it enables higher ROP, extends tool life, and significantly cuts non-productive time—ultimately delivering measurable reductions in total well costs for our clients in Mexico.”
Antonio Ospino added, “I’m delighted to be joining Paradigm at such an exciting point in its journey. The company has a well-established reputation for technical expertise and delivering practical, results-driven solutions. I’m looking forward to collaborating with the team to provide innovative and dependable support to our clients across the region.”
This appointment underscores Paradigm Drilling Services’ ongoing investment in seasoned leadership and its dedication to providing best-in-class well engineering, construction, and intervention services to operators across Mexico and North America.
