CASE HISTORIES
Trenchless Drilling for
Utility Companies
This drilling project was for a sewer system under Interstate 5 just 15 miles north of San Diego, California.
​
The drilling distance was about ¼ mile which crossed an inlet from the pacific ocean hitting in the middle of a subdivision road as shown below.
Alamos Gold
A core drilling program caused drilling to deviate out of the sections and sometimes into two sections while drilling to depths of 500 meters.​
​
Directional drilling needed to drill 25 meter section spaced targets.​
​
The only way to complete the tight targets was to directional drill with a “real time” steering tool.
Canadian Tar Sands
The tar sands are the biggest oil reserve in the world. To extract the heavy crude from the ground they must use steam injection. To do this they must drill twin HORIZONTAL wells, one on top of the other. ​​​​​​​Then by injecting steam into the bottom well it will turn the top well into liquid in order to extract the oil. These two holes were turned from vertical to horizontal in 70 meters and were drilled on out to 1000 meters horizontally. ​
Peñoles
La Cienega Mine
The directional drilling method provided by S.S.S., was used to track an ore vein by drilling one mother hole and turning four holes to keep tracking the ore body.
The color in silver represents the drilling without core. The color in red represents coring.
