1253113 2012-01-13 10:07:00 Nice one, Congrats. I did a few years in my younger day on a mobile rig (20+ ton), mostly water bores but also a bit of gold and coal exploration (went down over 400m near Balclutha). Really enjoyed it. Often hard work, but enjoyable (if you get the right boss). Geo-thermal drilling would be very interesting. Congrats again.

Ive been onsite for two days, Pretty damn amazing. Most of the crew are from Iceland.The current hole is going down 3.5km...

I've got a site management position so its all laid on. Though the hours and the work load are huge.

Here is the drilling rig, its called TYR.

1253115 2012-01-13 19:00:00 WOW, thanks for posting that, thats an impressive piece of equipment (and big !!) 3.5k, that is a looooong way regardless if it is directional or straight!!! Any idea what the starting diameter or the hole is? I would take a guess that their end result would be about an 8" at the bottom, so maybe 20"+ to start? Nice score landing that job. lucky bugga :thumbs: Iantech (16386)
