Our Process

Process

A pilot hole is drilled on the designed path. The process starts with the receiving hole and entrance pits. The drilling fluid is collected and reclaimed through these pits to reduce costs and prevent waste.

Enlarging

The hole is enlarged by passing the back reamer. The reamer's diameter depends on the size of the pipe to be pulled back through. The diameter is increased based on the outer diameter or conduit for optimal production.

Centering

The product or casing pipe is then placed in the enlarged hole by way of the drill-stem, which is then pulled through the newly-reamed path behind the reamer to allow centering of the pipe.
