A New Wave of Drilling Optimisation – 2:30pm –  3:15pm


Presented by Troy Giesler – IMDEX Global Sales Director


Processes in drilling have hardly changed in 30 years – so what have we come up with to aid efficiency in a time where we are drilling deeper, have more environmental restrictions, greater data requirements, higher safety and quality standards? In this workshop, we look at the tools of the future and those that are here now that are going to impact exploration drillers on the ground.
