This is the site title that appears in the top of the browser. Search engines place a great deal of emphasis on this tag and it's relevance. A well thought out title can make a real difference to your search engine rankings!

Keywords are becoming less and less important, as search engines try and find more accurate ways of indexing your site and judging its relevance. However, a small number of well known engines still make use of this meta tags, so it should not be ignored completely. Your keywords should be a comma separated list of words and phrases (with a space after the comma). Try not to use more than around 30 words or phrases.

Provided your description is considered by the search engines to be relevant to the content found on your site, then it will be displayed alongside your link in the search results. Again, the key to a good description is relevance. Try to include phrases used early on it your sites text, but also keep it brief - less than 250 characters.

For the most part, this option should be left as 'Please select'. It only needs to be changed if you wish your page to be displayed as part of a submenu. In this instance, simply select the page that will act as the parent of the submenu.

The page title serves 3 purposes. Firstly, it will be displayed at the top of the page. Formatting is taken care of automatically. Secondly, it will be displayed on the menu as the name of the link. Lastly, it will form the link itself. Because of this, try and avoid using any special characters in page titles. For example, rather than using an ampersand '&' type the word 'and'. This should avoid any problems when linking to pages. If you need to link to a page from within your content, you should link to the page title all in lowercase with all spaces replaced by hyphens. The link should always start with a forward slash. So to link to a page titled 'About us' you would link to '/about-us'.

This option will generally not need to be changed. This gives you the ability to insert custom objects such as forms onto your page that have been written for you.

The company operate in the oil/gas & coal bed methane exploration & performance drilling market that has an estimated worth of c$40bn per annum and are targeting their unique patented products in the niche $6bn pa equipment servicing sector.

Extraction of Oil & Gas is becoming more technically challenging and expensive as the industry works deeper and in more hostile geophysical environments from both land and sea based rigs. Whilst new extraction technologies are continually evolving, the industry is constantly looking for new ways to ensure steering & surveying data reaches the surface from down hole in the quickest and most cost effective manner. Existing technology to transmit data uses either Mud Pulse Telemetry (MPT) or Electro Magnetic Telemetry (EMT) which are slow and therefore costly and rely on battery power that has significant limitations in communication range at a time when increased range and reliability are fundamental to efficient and continuous drilling.

The team behind the business are from the industry having dedicated the last two years to developing the patented tools that now provide the World's only closed loop mud turbine alternator generating the highest regulated power source in the industry. They are also finalising the development of the World's first 100 watt Electro Magnetic Telemetry (EMT) tool that is ten times more powerful than existing equipment.

In an industry where a land based rig will cost c$250K per day, drill surveying costs can amount to c$7.5K/Day their new EMT tool & Alternator has the potential to generate savings of  ~90%. realising a return on capital cost within one or two surveying jobs, equivalent to 10-14 days.

Primary route to market is through existing Service Companies whose combined market amounts to 15000 surveying tools of all types in existence. The alternator has a projected working life of 1.6 years, in which time the alternator alone could yield c$150K profit against a capital cost of $35K and life time R&M costs of $20K. Exploiting their market advantage through existing Service Companies, even in the current climate, a projection of 150 tools (1% market) will generate £7.5m revenues on an estimated GP of 60% and high retained EBIT

Funded by a regional VC and a pool of private investors, they are seeking to raise a further £100K of a £220K call at a post money valuation of £1.5m, that will be sufficient to complete the last phase of development and are working to have field ready tools for their stand at the September 2009 OE Exhibition in Aberdeen.
