“GroundForce was contracted to provide two core rigs and a preset rig that successfully preset 18 wells and drilled 37 core wells. Drilling to a total of 12,021m and cored 1,797m in 211 rig days they were able to complete their fastest preset well spud to rig release in 0.58 days for 117.5m. With 24,683 man hours and zero LTAs they were able to maintain greater than 96% core recovery throughout the winter project. We are looking forward to another successful winter project with GroundForce geoDrilling Solutions.”
