Drilling Machines in Nigeria

Drilling equipment for Nigeria splits between water well contractors, mineral exploration and geotechnical work for construction. The rig that suits one rarely suits another, and the question that decides it is the formation you expect to drill rather than the depth alone.

Nigerian geology varies sharply. The sedimentary basins in the south and the delta drill very differently from the basement complex across much of the north and centre, where hard rock demands a different hammer and compressor arrangement entirely. A rig bought on price and depth rating alone will do the job in one and stall in the other, so we ask what you are drilling into before we quote.

We supply rotary and DTH rigs, mud pumps and compressors, drill pipe, bits and hammers, and the support equipment that keeps a crew working. Consumables matter more than the rig on a running cost basis: we price bits and hammers with the quotation so the whole cost is visible, and we supply a spares list for the first two seasons.
