WE INTRODUCE MWCD

We ensure the safety of people and property in the oil & gas industry

Under the management of MND, the MWCD is part of the Integrated Rescue System of the Czech Republic and was established pursuant to the Mining Activity Act. We operate throughout the Czech Republic and for contractual partners in Hungary. We also provide a well control service for MND Drilling & Services in their activities abroad.

Our specially trained rescuers are capable of rapidly responding and effectively intervening to protect property, the environment, and human lives.

We are ready wherever there is crude oil and natural gas extraction, underground well repairs, gas storage in natural rock structures, drilling and geophysical work, and the liquidation of wells.
