It’s not surprising that water well drilling is an ancient undertaking. About 8,000 years ago, the first water wells were hand dug to supply a safe, clean and reliable water source for the earliest civilizations. Our need for water has not changed, but well drilling technology has come a long way since ...
ZerdaLab has partnered with HydroVolve on developing a bespoke PDC drill bit product line to benefit from GeoVolve downhole hammer induced dynamics in challenging ...

What is sonic drilling? Sonic drilling is a technique that significantly reduces friction on the drill string and drill bit by using energy resonance to affect the soil structure where it contacts the drill string. ...
What is sonic drilling? Sonic drilling is a technique that significantly reduces friction on the drill string and drill bit by using energy resonance to affect the soil structure where it contacts the drill string. This combination makes penetrating for a large range of soils much easier. Sonic drilling is most often used when the drilling is difficult and the integrity of the core sample is ...
This patented solution gives us all the speed of air percussion that we’re used to, but all the safety and well integrity of mud rotary drilling at the same time. ...
To understand why our technology makes a difference, it’s helpful to understand the two main drilling methods that exist. Air percussion drilling has always been really good at drilling fast and into hard rocks. ...
The difference with Strada’s Fluid Hammer Operating System is that it is the pinnacle of proven, tried and tested technologies, wrapped in a unique system. Percussion drilling has been done for a long time, and it’s nothing new. Mud rotary drilling has been done for a long time and it’s nothing new. We are simply using a mud ...
This includes hardware of our dual circulation water hammer, dual circulation drill pipe, drill collars, and drill stem accessories and dual circulation swivels. ...
Efficient borehole cleaning is another indicator that ‘deep hole percussion drilling’ is now an achievable reality. We keep reminding ourselves that we could be the first people to drill with two fluids and a down the hole (DTH) percussion hammer. ...
Q1 2020 – Successful testing of our drilling technology In January this year, Strada finalised a very successful testing phase that has enabled us to back our claims to the market by trialling our percussion hammer drilling technology in the field. ...
It also has an added benefit of safely controlling the well from varying pressures drilled in to. The other drilling method is air percussion which is much faster, but has weaknesses in that it’s difficult to lift cuttings back to the surface at depth or in water and it requires a lot of air pressure to run. In very simple terms mud ...
Our solution: We believe our patented and tested Fluid Hammer Operating System (FHOS) is capable of reducing drilling costs by up to 70% in comparison to existing technologies, due to faster drilling, longer drill bit life and reduced mobilisation costs. ...
By drilling using a specially designed hydride carbide (melting point: 1,365°C) drill, we can drill the earth's crust to about 5 to 40 km to reach temperatures of 700 to 1,000°C, with minimum cost of the drill and drilling technology. ...
