Services and products for production companies

On the order of the production companies, TUTKOVSKY provides comprehensive services, carries out production and supply of materials and equipment to support the various projects related to the study and use of natural resources.

Through the participation in relevant tenders, we conclude contracts with the customer for the full range or certain kind of services or products equipment required to implement the projects. TUTKOVSKY, under the terms of a transparent internal competition, determines the suppliers of services and products of the international Hub that assumes the functions of leading contractor and attracts other Hub’s suppliers as subcontractors. In this case, all responsibilities for the quality and price of the full range of services and products lie on TUTKOVSKY, on whose behalf the leading contractor acts.

As the world’s leading service companies and as market leaders, TUTKOVSKY develops its own technologies and produces related equipment. The design and manufacture of geophysical, exploration and other equipment at the TUTKOVSKY affiliated manufacturing enterprises are designated not only and not so much to satisfy the needs of our own service companies but also the needs of the open market.

TUTKOVSKY is guided by the principle that the development and the sale of technologies and equipment is a specific business, not directly associated with the provision of services. TUTKOVSKY believes that the client should obtain the best service that provides the best software products, technologies and equipment that are available in the open market and appropriately recommended themselves.

TUTKOVSKY service companies use its own technologies and equipment only when they have been tested and approved by industry specialists as well as obtained an appreciation from the clients.

Such an approach favourably differs from the practice of the big companies. In providing their service, big companies tend to use the software, technologies and equipment of its own design, most of which are closed and not for sale to other service companies. But only sales on the open market can determine a fair price of the equipment services and to prove its advantages and effectiveness.

We believe that this structure of the TUTKOVSKY services is mostly in the interests of customers. As the whole process under the project related to the study and use of the specific natural resource, and its logistic support will be comprehensible and transparent, the customer will always know a real situation and will take the best decisions.
