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.

Oil & Gas

Canadian Tar Sands

Oil & Gas Canadian Tar Sands

To extract the heavy crude from the ground they must use steam injection. To do this they most drill twin HORIZONTAL wells, one on top of the other. Then bu injecting steal into the bottom well it will turn the tip well into were turned from vertical to horizontal in 70 meters and were drilled on out to 1000 meters horizontally.

To this day Silver State Surveys is the only company to drill these wells making a turn from vertical to horizontal in less than 100 mts. using a modified mineral drilling ring.

Mineral Drilling Mine

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 spaced targets.

The only way to complete the tight targets was to directional drill with a “real time” steering tool.

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.

Safety is our number one concern while operating, with a spotless record.
