Are you working on mineral exploration projects that demand aggressive directional drilling through tough formations? AZIWELL was when they were tasked with drilling a corkscrewed hole through metamorphosed granitic rock and quartz-rich gneiss. Broken sections, fluid return issues, and dry hole drilling pushed their existing rods to the limit.
Then, AZIWELL made the switch to S-Maxx™ Drill Rods, which successfully managed multiple directional corrections and achieved a terminal depth of 2,330 metres, while showing very little wear.
If you’re facing similar directional drilling challenges, downloading this case study will show you:
- How S-Maxx rods handle extreme deviation through difficult formations.
- Why reduced stress concentrations in the thread design matter for durability.
- How AZIWELL’s S-Maxx rods remained in excellent condition and ready for future use.
