DIRECT ROTARY – CONVENTIONAL DRILLING
Direct Rotary Drilling is the most common drilling method in both the oil and geothermal industries. Direct –mud rotary drilling offers a number of advantages. It is a very fast and efficient means of drilling and is adaptable to a wide variety of geological conditions. In many cases direct rotary drilling can be the best alternative, especially for deep wells, directional wells or wells completed into well-lithified rocks.
In keeping with Barbour’s current core values in meeting customer’s demands, Barbour utilizes mobile, yet powerful, singles drilling rigs that offer advantages of a small footprint for tighter working conditions yet stout enough to handle drilling conditions that would normally utilize a doubles rig.
Barbour’s drilling division utilizes a 200,000 lb. capacity heavy singles drilling rig as the primary unit, capable of drilling and completing wells to depths of +/- 5000 feet, depending on casing size. Barbour’s rig 77 is a double drum table drive units, (which can be quickly converted to top drive units with minor modifications).
Support equipment includes; (2) Gardner Denver PZ7 Triplex Pumps, portable mud pits using 3 panel shakers and a full manifold of de-silters and de-sanders that provide clean, low solids drilling mud
Barbour’s direct rotary rigs are available for vertical or directional operations for both oil and geothermal drilling projects.
