A new drilling rig onsite at Talinga
NEW drilling equipment being used by Australia Pacific LNG at its Talinga development is designed to reduce the impact on landowners and their property and improve safety and efficiency.
The hybrid drilling rigs, supplied by a contractor, Savannah Energy, employ a flexible coil, allowing continuous drilling without the physical reconnection of steel pipe, which is a feature of conventional rigs, resulting in a faster turnaround time, increased safety for staff and less land disturbance.
This is the first time the purpose-built rigs have been used in Australia and have been deployed at Talinga, west of Chinchilla, following a two-year study by Australia Pacific LNG into global drilling 'best practice'.
