New Custom Gefco SD300 Water Well Drilling Rigs

The Stardrill 300HD is a Direct Circulation type rig with Mud, Air, Down the Hole Hammer, or Mixed, and is able to drill to a depth of 400 m, 4-3/4” to 6” diameter with 3-1/2” flush drill pipe in favourable drilling conditions. Also capable for shallow water well drilling (150-200m) with larger diameter of 12-1/4” in soft formations. (Exception is made in conditions of lost circulation, fractured formation or presence of cavities). In the case of drilling air/down hole hammer where there is water present the depth rating depends on the static water level encountered.
