A
lot of people ask us what
TSC stands for,” says
Morgan Zhang, TSC Group
CEO. “It means: Total
Solutions Company.”
It’s an apt description: as a
leading solutions provider for
onshore and offshore rigs, TSC
Group is one of few companies
that offer such a wide range of
services and products which we
call integrated solutions, from
offshore and onshore rig equipment
packages to in-house product
design to what the company terms
“MRO” (maintenance, repair, and
operation) supplies and services.
With headquarters in Houston
and a global footprint in over
nine countries from Singapore to
Shipley and Moscow to Dubai,
TSC provides equipment and

services to an extensive client list,
including the world’s major national
oil companies, international oil
companies, drilling contractors,
offshore engineering general
contractors and shipyards.
But the name is about more
than providing equipment and
services. It’s also a signifier of
the company’s commitment to
its clients – dedicated to finding
not the easiest solution, but the
fullest and most complete solution
possible to fit their needs.
Keeping Safety a Priority
“Safety is always our number
one priority,” says Zhang. “At
every meeting at our facilities, the
number one thing we do is to instill
a “safety first” mindset, not just
in operations but in all aspects of

our products and businesses.
To this day, our philosophy
has resulted in near zero
time lost through workplace
injuries. That is always our
number one priority and we

this basic responsibility
is fully complementary to

committed to going beyond
minimum standards to ensure
safety, not only to employees
but also to customers and

Wide Range of Solution
Offerings
“TSC today is culminated
from an integration of several
unique entities over the
years; from a company like
Ansell Jones Ltd which has
history dating back from
1845, specializing in mooring
and lifting equipment for the
offshore and nuclear industry
to the most recent called
Alliance Offshore which
offers integrated solutions.
Within this history we have
a successful track record in

delivering a wide range of drilling
packages, customized solutions
for rig mechanization, electrical
controls, solids controls, jacking
systems and deck cranes. We have
a good rapport with a wide range of
customers for both land drilling and
offshore operations.
“Some of them want
automations and mechanizations
for safety reasons, while some
want to increase their capacity
or high specification equipment
on new rigs” says Zhang. “We
designed, built and delivered six
drilling packages now operating
on jack-up rigs and a wide range
of equipment on board fixed and
floating platforms. In 2011, we
completed delivery of two sets
of special purpose cranes now
operating on the SFC and SFB
Statoil production platforms in
the North Sea, as well as many
others purpose built equipment
for rigs. We did some upgrades in
Brazil, including one of the previous
Petrobras semisubmersible rigs,
P13, now called Olinda Star owned
by QGOG. We have also completed
several upgrades for equipment on
Transocean drillships, including the
Deepwater Pathfinder, Deepwater
Frontier and Deepwater Millenium.
We also upgraded a lot of older
land rigs in China. Also, some of
the older rigs call for more handling
capacity for heavier BOP stacks
because of new requirements
after the Macondo accident, so
in addition to new equipment and
packages, we have done a variety
of upgrades.”
Expansion in Emerging
Markets
“In the oil and gas industry there’s
a tremendous challenge that is the
mature onshore field,” says Zhang,
explaining that finding a lucrative
area to drill today often requires
stepping far outside your comfort
zone. “You have to go to a harsh
environments, deeper oceans or
unconventional onshore locations
– These can be very costly and you
cannot just rely on old technology
to provide new and innovative
solutions.”
In this environment, TSC is
exploring the relatively untapped
potential of new or still emerging
oil and gas markets. “Our focus
on the basics of delivering high
quality state-of-the-art products
while carving out a niche in new or
emerging markets,” says Zhang.
“Because we’ve been in Houston
for many years we have access
to new technology, which can be

Guiding the Business with
Firsthand Experience

background is drilling. Bing started
40 years ago as a roughneck,

then we’ve been associated with all
things related to drilling for offshore
and onshore rigs.”
With an understanding of how
the oil and gas world works and
a desire to improve it, this real
world experience translates to real
world value for clients. “By putting
ourselves in the customer’s shoes,
we can do things safer and more
efficiently, and grow faster so that
our customers can grow faster,”
