Drilling

 

Easternwell Drilling is Australia’s most progressive and dynamic drilling contractor.  They provide latest technology rigs that offer full drilling contractor services to the Australian Oil and Gas, Coal Seam Methane, Geothermal and Carbon Sequestration industries.  Our aim is to build strong relationships with our clients by delivering best in class service and performance. 

 

A current expansion into the renewable energy industry will be yet another first for the Easternwell team.  The company’s drilling division has been contracted by geothermal exploration company Geodynamics Limited to crew and maintain the largest drilling rig on Australian shores.  The Lightning Drilling Rig explores the deep geothermal wells in the Cooper Basin in order to tap into “hot rock” energy deep beneath the earth’s crust. 

 

Easternwell Group has also moved into the area of ‘clean coal’.  The Advantage Driller Rigs specialise in drilling for coal seam gas and Easternwell has three Advantage Drillers on long term contracts to Australia’s foremost onshore exploration and production company, Santos Limited.  Coal Seam Gas is extracted from underground coal and is a more efficient and cleaner burning energy source than the original coal. 

 

The Advantage Drillers are also very well suited to drilling for underground carbon geosequestration, where carbon dioxide from coal power stations is captured and pumped to wells accessing stable underground storage.  The burgeoning clean energy sector promises to be a significant part of Easternwell’s core business in future decades.
