DeviDrill™ delivers directional drilling program of high technical quality in environmentally sensitive area
In Sodankylä, Finland, Anglo American were looking to collect the metallurgical samples from the Sakatti Cu-Ni-PGE deposit by means of core drilling.
They needed to maintain a constant 25m drilling pattern in certain key areas of the deposit with the required 5m target precision (up to 800m depth) whilst adhering to challenging and strict project timings and environmental constraints.
They engaged DeviDrill Directional Core Drilling (DCD) services. The DeviDrill is an innovative directional core barrel that delivers highly accurate borehole steering whilst collecting a 3m/10ft core sample, leading to the application name, Directional Core Drilling (DCD).
