Drilling Optimization
Ensure execution of drilling programs to specification, on time, within budget and safely
As the cost of drilling increases, the need to improve productivity is paramount. Additional costs caused by higher operational standards, environmental restrictions and increased hole depths will continue.
As specialists in Drilling Optimisation, IMDEX’s vision is to ensure the execution of drilling programs to specification, on time, within budget and safely.
Our solution assists clients to:
- Hit targets accurately
- Drill as fast as the ground will allow
- Reduce down-time
- Be safe and environmentally responsible
- Deliver a cost effective quality drilling program and have the data to back it up.
Conventional wireline coring has been transformed. High frequency energy pulse assisted drilling (EPAD) enables the IMDEX COREVIBE™ to deliver a 30%* productivity gain, due to increased Rate of Renetration (ROP) whilst retaining good bit life, core quality and hitting target.
Pulling rods is one of the most laborious, time-consuming and risky parts of diamond drilling, for operational and safety reasons.
IMDEX XTRACTA™ allows the driller to inspect and/or change the bit/reamer each time the core is retrieved. This means there is no need to pull the rods to change bits and the hole is always cased, maintaining hole integrity.
