The Zero-Trip Wedge is a directional drilling / borehole recovery tool. that eliminates the need for multiple rod trips in and out of the borehole when setting a wedge compared to tradition techniques. Less rod trips saves time, reduces wear on drilling equipment, and maintains borehole integrity by allowing the wedge to be set in a single shift. This tool can significantly speed up the drilling process and improve safety by reducing manual handling.
The Zero-Trip Wedge can be effectively set at depths up to 3,000 meters (with the record setting @ 2998m), with the process taking as little as six hours at 1,000m. For deeper operations, the time saved increases, making it a cost-effective solution for challenging drilling projects.
The main benefits include a time saving of at least four shifts compared to the traditional Hall-Rowe method, reduced wear and tear on drilling equipment, and the ability to recover lost boreholes. This leads to substantial cost savings and increased efficiency on drilling programs.
Yes, the Zero-Trip Wedge is versatile and can be oriented and set in any direction, whether for surface or underground drilling operations. This adaptability makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of exploration projects.
