Tomax

Deep Driller 150 is operated by Norsk Retningsboring as and is making safe progress towards its first geothermal test-point at 1000m (3000 ft) outside of Stavanger city. The hole size is 8 1/2 inch and the drilling rate is controlled at 10-15 meters (30-45 feet) per hour.

In addition to geothermal prospecting, the rig is serving as a platform for a research collaboration with Tomax. The rig provides High-Frequency (HF) drill-string measurements collected by a drill-strong sensor. The recording rate is 4000 Hz.

The well is currently penetrating basement gneiss with layers of biotitt much like the background in the below picture. It was taken when Jøran Austbø, Morten Granhøy-Lieng and Håkon Skjelvik from Tomax HQ visited the rig this week.

Rig manager Ove Heggland (background) was surprised to see how noise and vibration dissapeared with the Tomax research tool.

Motocross is a fantastic way to get young people active, but with speed comes risk. Managing that risk is essential. We're excited to announce our partnership with the Norwegian Motorsport Federation, (Norges Motorsportforbund) providing paramedic services for every race in the "VestCup" series. We're dedicated to ensuring a safe environment for these young athletes so they can focus on their performance and have fun.
