PNG is in our DNA, Quality is our strength
High Arctic has built its reputation on world-class drilling services, delivering safe, efficient, and reliable operations across Papua New Guinea’s toughest terrains. That same standard of excellence extends far beyond the wellhead. Today, we offer a diverse suite of services including equipment rentals, workforce solutions, asset integrity, and fire protection, helping our partners achieve more at every stage of their projects. Rooted in PNG and trusted by global leaders, we do more because we started with the very best.
Deep PNG Experience
Since 2007, High Arctic has built a reputation defined by quality and safety. Our history in Papua New Guinea proves that world-class performance can be achieved in the most demanding conditions, including cultural complexity, remote geographies, limited infrastructure, and challenging geology. By adapting, remaining self-sufficient, and applying international best practice, we have consistently delivered safe and reliable outcomes recognised across the industry.
Today, that reputation extends beyond drilling into a diverse service offering including asset management and equipment rentals, through which we now serve as the Authorised PNG Distributor of Atlas Copco Power Technique products. We have a rapidly growing fire services division based out of Port Moresby but servicing sites throughout PNG. We deliver workforce solutions through PNG Industry Manpower Solutions (PIMS) strengthening competence and reducing risk. Every service is tailored for PNG, combining global standards with local expertise to keep projects moving with confidence. Trusted by top-tier clients including Santos, ExxonMobil, TotalEnergies, Ok Tedi and Newmont, High Arctic continues to set the benchmark for quality and safety in Papua New Guinea.
