Large diameter rotary drilling for a new water well, following on from preliminary probe drilling which confirmed a location with a sizeable groundwater yield. (Scottish Borders, May 2024) #borehole #waterwell #drilling

Rotary drilling to a depth of 35 metres below ground level, to recover core samples from the sedimentary bedrock. (Midlothian, Scotland) #borehole #groundinvestigation #geotechnical #drilling

Sonic drilling in coal ash? Oh, absolutely! Sonic's like the ninja of drilling—sneaky with low ground pressure and super efficient. Right now, we're busy installing wellpoints 23 feet deep in coal ash at a site in the Southeast. #griffin #dewatering #coalash #power #sonic

KCl Drilling mud vs. Non inhibiting water In the Left: KCI drilling fluid with Green Clay - as Potassium inhibits the swelling of smectite in the clay, While to the Right Non inhibiting water shows swelled clay.

Today’s borehole drilling took us to an interesting spot, right under an electricity pylon! Just another day in the unique world of T&P Regeneration. #TPRegeneration #BoreholeDrilling #RegenerationWork #Groundworks

Horizontal Directional Drilling is a popular installation method and #HDPEpipe is the dominant pipe for that application. Different geographic regions offer different challenges due to underground variance amongs soils, including rock. To highlight how much formations underground can change across North America, we asked Mike Whitehouse #ISCO to name as many different types of rocks as he can in 20 seconds. Be honest: could you beat Mike? #fuseitorloseit

🤨Drilling Trivia: What is viscosity, and how does it affect your water well drilling project? Comment below if you already know! Or find the answer in our blog: https://loom.ly/n-evVKg #Blog #LoneStarDrills #WaterWellDrill #WaterWellDrilling

The thixotropic nature of #Halliburton SentinelCem™ Pro cement enables the system to remain fluid while pumped into lost-circulation zones and rapidly gel when pumping is ceased. Visit https://lnkd.in/gA5gST2Z to learn how this feature helps cure losses and mitigate loss of costly drilling fluid to the formation.

An operator encountered challenges running liner string through a narrow operational window and close clearance annulus during a relatively new deepwater drilling campaign.
