Boart Longyear announces global expansion of mine water services


Boart Longyear, the global integrated drilling products and services provider, has announced a plan to expand Mine Water Services to Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific.

Over the last 25 years, Boart Longyear Drilling Services has developed an effective reverse circulation method in North America, and has established the process within the industry while creating the most highly specialized crews in the world.

"Boart Longyear utilizes a unique process which is capable of drilling large diameter holes in the most difficult ground conditions in a single-pass," said Dale Johnson, Global Director of Drilling Services Operations.

"Drilling a large diameter borehole in a single-pass versus multiple passes, which can degrade the bore-hole, improves the likelihood of drilling a straight borehole to target depth successfully. Our unique method of drilling and completing wells provides better overall well efficiency and production – ultimately saving our clients downtime and money over the life of a well."

Boart Longyear offers a full range of mine and other water services drilling. This includes production, de-watering, re-injection, monitoring, geothermal, and municipal wells. In North America, Boart Longyear also provides pump installation and servicing.

Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, the company conducts contract drilling services in over 40 countries, and provides mining products to customers in over 100 countries.
