Directional Drilling

With complex sub-surface mineral geologies and surface restrictions in certain areas Mineral exploration companies are having to innovate and find newer and more efficient methods for intersecting the ore bodies for assessment.

One such innovation is the use of directional drilling to intersect the ore with multi-lateral branches from a single mother hole.

Asian Oilfield provides directional drilling services to the mineral drilling industry.

AOSL uses mud-motor and high-precision measurement capabilities to “steer” core holes into desired sections of the ore body, without moving the drilling rig to a new borehole point. This helps the exploration company to minimize preparation of additional drilling locations, overcome accessibility problems, save on wasteful drilling and complete their exploration objectives in less time.
