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.
