While drilling for oil back in the 1950s, enormous underground water reservoirs from the last Ice Age were discovered in the Sahara. ...
This applies to many aspects of life, including when it comes to choosing a water well drill for your business or organization. A reputable manufacturer will stand behind their product because they understand the value of providing resources to support customers if they encounter a problem while drilling. If you’re wondering what services ...
4 Things to Consider Before Deciding to Drill Can you drill your own water well? The short answer is yes — if you have the right equipment. However, there is important information to consider before you take on a DIY water well drilling project. Whether you’re looking at drilling a personal well in your yard or a community well in a rural area, understanding the process and potential ...
The few minutes it takes to go through daily maintenance is simple but significant to prolong the life of your drilling equipment. It’s important to know what to grease and how often — this minimizes the risk of equipment malfunction. Whether sampling soil or drilling water wells, the following guidelines to regular greasing and cleaning will help preserve your drilling rig and ...
Water well drilling challenges happen. We have a few tips to keep your operation up and running while you’re in the field with Lone Star Drills water well drilling ...
At face value, well drilling projects sound as simple as showing up and digging a deep hole in the ground. But it’s important to learn more about how to drill a water well because it isn’t that straightforward. Preparing for a drilling project is more than just setting up the rig. In fact, drill site preparation starts before you arrive at the jobsite and details adjust throughout the ...
Creating a safe, usable well requires a strong, efficient drill. While a variety of drilling methods exist such as air rotary drilling, cable tool drilling and more, Lone Star Drills rigs use mud rotary drilling. Mud rotary drilling is a fluid-based recirculatory ...
The Lone Star Drills water well drill line uses mud rotary drilling, which relies on properly mixed drilling mud. Here’s how to prepare your drilling mud for your ...
The best approach is to use a carbide drill bit or a specialized metal drill bit. Start by marking the drilling point with a center punch to prevent the drill bit from slipping. ...
A recent study found that geothermal electricity generation in the US alone could increase by more than 26-fold by 2050 and that the global market could soon hit $50 billion. Yet drilling geothermal wells is more costly than conventional oil-drilling and it remains a daunting challenge to deliver the required ROI. Companies face the challenge of using downhole ...

A recent study found that one in five water wells are at risk. Solutions like water reuse and desalination can help preserve endangered aquifers. A new study in the journal Science reports that up to 20% of groundwater wells around the world are in danger of running dry mainly due to overpumping and drought. That’s a concerning number because half of the world’s drinking water and ...
Today, with the use of the Inliant system, this procedure becomes more predictable by providing the visualization of the 3D drill position over the patient’s CT data, in real-time during implant surgery – in one appointment. ...
As a background, the drilling methods traditionally used for geothermal projects have been the same drilling used for oil and gas projects. ...
A directional survey is a survey method that can be used to map various underground drilling applications. Directional surveys are used to map a planned underground route by using aiding data provided by any combination of directional survey stations. Directional survey stations serve as a reference point that corresponds to a measured depth along the actual bored path known as ...
Technology The risks and challenges encountered while drilling deep, high-temperature geothermal wells are broadly similar to those in the oil and gas industry – although these industries are vastly different in scale. ...
A borehole log is a record, made by the driller or geologist, of the rocks found and penetrated in the borehole. As the drill cuts through rock at an identified depth, the type of rock in the cuttings that come up to the top of the well is removed and described. ...
