Specialist Engineering & Consultancy

Our geotechnical specialists and world-class drilling fluids engineers have many years practical experience, having been involved in a wide range of drilling applications.

We offer outstanding levels of technical support, and believe that our core strength lies in our in depth understanding of the interface between the drilling equipment/down hole tooling and the soil/rock face. We engineer practical and cost effective ‘down the hole’ solutions based on this knowledge.

Our expertise includes:

  • Drilling Engineering
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics
  • Formation Permeability and Porosity
  • Pore Pressure Evaluation and Engineering
  • Bore Hole Stability
  • Drilling Fluid Design
  • Soil Mechanics
  • Geology
  • Geomorphology
  • Geohazards
  • Engineering Rock Mechanics
  • Environmental Geotechnics
  • Thermal Conductivity of Various Soil and Rock Types

Some of the engineering services we offer are listed below:

  • Full time on site drilling fluids engineering and reporting service
  • Interpretation of geological reports
  • Design of drilling fluid systems and programs
  • Design of ‘down the hole’ drilling assemblies.
  • Optimisation of rock cutting structures
