Stratex Drilling Methodology

The STRATEX® drilling system provides efficient drilling through difficult environments using a non-rotating casing driven by a pneumatic hammer and retractable under-reaming bit. Cuttings are removed through circulation and discharged to a cyclone for sampling. Upon completion, the drill rod and bit retract to install well construction materials in the drive casing.

d

he STRATEX drilling system provides efficient and reliable drilling through the most difficult and

challenging environments. Formations previously thought impractical or impossible can be drilled to


greater depths and larger diameters than with conventional drilling methods. Borings and well installations in areas with boulders, cobbles, fractured volcanic, gravels or alternating formations are installed
in an efficient and cost effective manner.
The STRATEX system consists of a non-rotating flush-threaded casing driven by a pnuematic down-hole
hammer in conjunction with a retractable, under-reaming carbide drill bit. Drill cuttings are removed
from the hole by the bit rotation and air circulation. The material is discharged through a hose to a cyclone, which separates the air from the for-
