Gas Exploration
We subcontracted to a coring contractor who was drilling to find methane gas. We drilled and cased this bore to 770m to provide access for cores to be extracted below this depth. Key challenges were keeping the hole open to this depth to enable casing to take place. A reliable mud system was developed to overcome these difficulties. The site was also very small, presenting further challenges.

Supply a Municipal Water Scheme
This project involved drilling and testing of a Production Bore for Municipal Supply. Carlyle Drilling was experienced in the key technical aspects of the project, and had drilled over 25 bores within a 3km radius of the bore site. A small bore was drilled into the upper aquifer to provide water for drilling and to provide a supply for the locals during pumping testing. A 100mm pilot bore was drilled to determine the geology and target aquifer depth. From the results of this trial bore the screen design and location was developed. Conductor casing was installed at the top of the Production Bore to stabilise the bore and allow grouting of the 250mm casing in place. The final bore was cased to a depth of 104m, and a 60m length of screen installed. The bore was developed to produce over 150 cubic metres per hour of water. Carlyle Drilling also completed a 12 day pumping test, including monitoring of 8 other bores.

Supplying the Regional Scheme
This bore was constructed to supplement the local supply scheme. It complements a bore we drilled 200m along the road. Both bores will feed into the same water treatment station. We used our DR-24 rig to overcome difficult geological formations to construct this bore. The Dual Rotary drive was used to rotate the casing into place, ensuring casing could be installed to target depth. A 15 day constant flow pumping test was carried out to determine the sustainable flowrate of the bore. The flow exceeded the customer's requirements, and the bore recovered quickly following the test.
| Bore Id: | 1836 |

Supplying the Regional Scheme
Water supply for this district has been traditionally supplied from surface sources. This bore will be able to supplement this supply in peak demand times where the stream flow is low. This project was completed on budget, and within 3 weeks of the target completion time. A 21 day pumping test was carried out.

Storm Water Control
This shallow bore was designed to pump stormwater away to lower the stormwater level in the local area. The bore was drilled and developed within a limited site area, with steps taken to minimise the impact on surrounding activities. Carlyle Drilling provided HS&E management and progress reporting as part of this project. The bore was finished below ground to enable headworks to be constructed in an underground chamber.
