An Outline Of Well Drilling Equipment

By Rosella Campbell


Getting to drill a well will require you to put various aspects into consideration in order to get the best well. Factors such as the ability of the equipment to drill through the earth structure of your preferred site, the cost of the service and the output of particular equipment should be soundly considered. Below is a brief outlook of various well drilling equipment at your disposal.

Dando Buffalo 3000. This apparatus is a cost effective one. It is highly favored by the NGOs, funding agencies, governments and contractors due to its ability to drill in areas with poor infrastructure and a very difficult terrain without any significant external help. Its simple design makes it have a relatively lower requirement of maintenance as compared to others. This is durable and can last for years and any vehicle that is four wheeled can be used to pull it.

SDC375 Sonic. It is designed in such a way that it is very durable and able to fit in a limited space thus enhancing its ease in transportation. Included in its advantages are its consumption of minimal drilling fluid, faster performance, high quality and continuous coring and its ability to reduce the hole deviation greatly. It leads in the market while on the other hand having a superior rate of technology.

Watertec 40. It is a very successful rig that has been designed to drill water wells of larger diameters. It has the capability of doing this and drilling to very great depth even in the most challenging environments in the world. It has a lifting capacity that is very high making it very favorable to government departments, private contractors and large aid agencies for deep borehole projects worldwide.

Watertec 24. It contains pullback ability that can reach up to around twenty four tones. Its performance which is a top notch enables it to bore deep depths while placed on a truck, tracks, and trailers or on support of the vehicle or structure of owner. The machine is designed in such a way that it can last long, be relied upon and still possess ability to operate continuously despite harshness of the various environments.

Multitec 6000. This lightweight equipment and the eventual all-purpose borer can find use in numerous boring applications. Some of the applications may include; explorations of minerals, water wells, geotechnical investigation and geothermal boring. It has the ability to incorporate modern technology in a design that is ultra-compact.

Multitec 9000. This is truly a multi-purpose rig that integrates a pullback with a capacity reaching 10,00kgs within structure that is compact and lightweight. It has been designed to be used in mineral exploration, water wells, geothermal projects and geotechnical investigation. It also has the capability of performing numerous techniques of drilling that include reverse circulation, rotary air blast, auger, conventional mud, SPT and many others.

Putting in mind the cost of purchasing in line with the cost of hiring in the long run will be beneficial in determining the cost you will inject in any equipment. Make sure you acquire one that will be able to perform perfectly on the type of earth you are drilling and avoid overspending on a high level machine whereas the work can be done quite easily with an average machine.
