ACTx™ Improves Confidence in Core Orientation and Efficiency at the Core Shed

Case Study

ACTx™ Improves Confidence in Core Orientation and Efficiency at the Core Shed

Location: Matheson, Ontario, Canada

Resource Company: Leading Canadian Gold Developer

Drilling Contractor: NPLH Drilling

Resource: Gold


Client challenges & objectives

Suboptimal data quality from traditional core orientation methods leads to unreliable results in structural modelling and inefficiencies at the core shed. The client wanted to:

  • Increase quantity and quality of core orientation data acquired at the rig site, without compromising drilling productivity.
  • Increase efficiency at the core shed by increasing quantity and quality of structural data.
  • The amount of time ACTx saves core techs who are working with oriented core is the real cherry on top! It is a hard metric to capture and quantify but my team saw the benefits first-hand when we ran a pilot program to test ACTx

IMDEX Solution

ACTx Digital Core Orientation Solution.

IMDEX introduced ACTx at the rig site and leveraged on its easier and safer workflow to increase quantity of both attempted and successful core orientations.

The ACTx digital QA/QC process was used to optimise efficiency at the core shed.
