Case Study
OMNIx38™ hands back two days of bit on bottom time
Location: South Africa
Resource Company: Anglo American Platinum
Drilling Contractor: Rosond Drilling
Project: Amandelbult
Challenges
The Amandelbult project requires B-size end of hole surveys (slickline) in deep vertical drillholes beyond 1000m. Using conventional north seeking gyro technology in multi-shot mode, surveys typically require over 40 hours to complete.
Objectives
- Accelerate collection of survey data in vertical drillholes to save rig time and associated costs.
- Deliver seamless and near real-time data and QA/QC to the geology team to support fast and effective decision-making.
IMDEX Solution
OMNIx38 - north seeking and all-attitude continuous gyro.
IMDEX’s OMNIx38 enables high-speed and continuous north seeking gyro surveying in vertical drillholes, delivering a highly accurate drillhole trace in a fraction of the time.
