Story
History about MDS
In the heart of Andalusia, where the sun kisses the Mediterranean shores, Málaga Drilling School has carved its own niche in the realm of energy education. The school emerged as a response to the growing demand for professionals to be accredited to work in the drilling industry.
Málaga Drilling School stands as a testament to the foresight and expertise of its founder, Pete Blakeston. Established in 2007, this institution has thrived under the guidance of a seasoned expert, bringing a wealth of experience as a rig manager to the realm of training and performance in drilling sites.
The merge with Ross Energy in 2022 marked a significant milestone in Malaga Drilling School's journey. The Danish company, with its rich history and global expertise, saw potential in
combining forces with the Andalusian institution, recognizing the synergy between their visions for excellence in drilling education. The merger set the stage for a new era of international
collaboration and innovation. Diversifying its course offerings to include a broader range of disciplines beyond traditional drilling. New courses emerged, spanning areas such as environmental sustainability, digital technologies, and diverse facets of the energy sector.
