“If you are serious about SAFETY, PRODUCTIVITY and reducing your DRILLING EMISSIONS then you simply have to consider drilling long core runs”.
While existing rod-handling technologies are designed to load-/- unload rods, that’s all they do – some better than others, and some are so slow that they compromise productivity. The CoreMAX handling technology not only safely handles drill rods on and off your rig, but it is designed to specifically handle long strings of inner tubes, safely separating them at surface and presenting the inner tube with the core sample to the drilling crew for geotechnical analyses – without compromising core orientation.
So regardless of mast length and assuming reasonable ground conditions, you now have the ability to safely drill long core runs.
The CoreMAX handler can adapt to most surface rigs, including top drive and chuck drive rigs, as well as space – constrained cold climate “shack” rigs.
Take a look at our online calculator to fully appreciate the potential long core runs can offer.
