SlimDrill - Compact Drilling Technology for Oil & Gas | Verde
Drilling technology · field-tested since 2019

A compact rig. A radically smaller cost of geological exploration.

SlimDrill brings modern, field-tested mineral-mining drilling technology to oil & gas - dramatically reducing rig weight, pad size, mud volumes, casing consumption and waste, while delivering more core data, faster.

The problem

Conventional drilling is oversized for modern geological exploration.

⚙

Bulky conventional rigs

Conventional drilling rigs are excessively bulky and sluggish equipment.

⌖

Costly mobilization

Time and money spent on mobilization make it impossible to reach more than one drilling location per season.

⏱

Long cycle times

Extended preparation, drilling and testing cycles delay every milestone on the path to production.

◔

Limited core data

Conventional coring is expensive and yields too little - keeping geological hypotheses untested for too long.

⚠

Exploration does not pay back

With conventional drilling rigs on small and mid-sized fields, geological exploration simply cannot pay back - drilling costs are too high.
