In 2016 Drilling Systems, formed their IAS division to enhance their service offering to their clients. For the next couple of years IAS were involved in many projects across the globe to support the sale and development of simulators as well as to design and implement the systems they can be used to support. IAS also became involved in non-simulation driven projects.

IAS International became a privately owned entity in November 2018 following a Management Buy-out. Most of the team who had helped build IAS’s strong reputation for providing highly effective, sustainable, and practical solutions for improving performance remained with IAS. Since then, we have worked with most of the International & Regional Drilling Contractors and Oil Companies.

IAS International has attained accreditation for the following ISO standards:

ISO 9001:2015 (quality Management Systems)

ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management Systems)

ISO 45001:2018 (Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems)

In January 2025, following another management buy-out, Steve Taylor became sole owner and re-launched the brand retaining many of the original services but with a strong focus on Integrity, Assurance & Systems. He then formed a strategic partnership with Cansco Well Control which gives IAS access to their network of clients and resources enabling IAS to provide an even higher level of support to their clients.

By engaging the IAS team, our clients are ensuring that they will have the most effective and practical solutions that are specific and focused on their organization’s actual requirements, enabling them to increase revenue efficiency by improving performance and competence.
