Directional Drilling Technology and Capabilities
Down-sized oilfield technology designed specifically for mining applications provides REI Drilling, Inc. the ability to directionally drill and steer boreholes in excess of 6,000 ft to high accuracy in bedded strata. REI Drilling, Inc.’s directional drilling equipment includes high thrust directional drills, high capacity water pumps, and directional tooling - comprised of downhole mud-motors, LWD/MWD steering systems (“DDMS” - Directional Drilling Management System) with rods integrated with a communication system (“RCS”).
REI Drilling, Inc.’s directional drilling systems provide for lateral borehole placement accuracies of less than 1 Degrees, extended reach drilling, and the ability to intercept vertical wells and develop subsurface manifolds comprised of intercepting lateral boreholes.
REI Drilling, Inc. uses Geosensing technology that provides for high resolution logging of rock strength and that characterizes formation flow metrics while drilling. This technology as well as Inert Gas Pressure Fracturing are tools used by REI Drilling, Inc. to provide unique gas and water drainage, and exploration solutions for the mining and civil industries.
