Research Drilling Program

Research or exploratory drilling is the process of drilling wells or boreholes to obtain geological information through core samples about a potential groundwater, mineral, or oil resources in a particular area. It is typically conducted in areas where the geology suggests the presence of valuable resources, but where the extent and quality of those resources are uncertain.
