Currently, Hagstrom Drilling is undertaking a Geotechnical drilling program along an environmentally sensitive creek bed area, which stipulates spillage of any nature is prohibited.
To eliminate the use of below-ground sumps, Hagstrom implemented an IMDEX mud circulation system in the form of a Solid Recirculation Unit (SRU); mounted to a trailer and subsequently deployed on site.
Not only have works to date been environmentally compliant, they have also been operationally sound. Core recovery on site is currently averaging 96.5%. The expected rate prior to works commencing was 95% recovery.
This outcome was achieved through our custom-developed mud program and specialised bit selection, which has ultimately enabled the team to maxmise core recovery.
In this context, the importance of adaptability to unique operating scenarios is clear.
