IMDEX's end-to-end Drilling Optimisation solution

An end-to-end solution like IMDEX's Drilling Optimisation solution offers all the associated benefits of working with one trusted technology provider for a complete solution. Resource companies and drilling contractors can now benefit from operational efficiencies by utilising one company offering the integration of award winning technologies such as the following:

New Technologies

The increased cost of drilling can only be offset with improved productivity. Additional costs caused by higher operational standards, environmental restrictions and increased hole depths will only get worse. Find out how IMDEX is creating a paradigm shift in Drilling Optimisation with the new XTRACTA™ and COREVIBE™ technologies.

IMDEX COREVIBE™

IMDEX is currently developing a product that will transform conventional wireline coring industry wide. High frequency energy pulse assisted drilling (EPAD) enables IMDEX COREVIBE™ to deliver a 30%* productivity gain, due to increases of up to 90% rate of penetration (ROP) whilst retaining good bit life, core quality and hitting targets.

IMDEX XTRACTA™

IMDEX is currently developing the XTRACTA™ which will allow the driller to inspect and/or change the bit/reamer each time the core is retrieved. This means there is no need to pull the rods to change bits and the hole is always cased, maintaining hole integrity and allowing greater efficiency throughout the drilling process.

IMDEX MUD AID™

An automated in-field mud diagnosis unit guides drillers to optimise and complete drilling fluid programs, without the need for a dedicated drilling fluid engineer on site.

A wire-line downhole solution that works proactively, making targeted injections that produce a thin, robust lubristic membrane to stabilise the borehole and prevent lost circulation.

The award-winning portable closed-loop systems that eliminate the need for earthen sumps by separating drilled solids and cleaning drill fluid for reuse.

AMC’s range of drilling fluids maintain sample integrity, improve productivity and control costs, in a variety of ground formations or environmentally sensitive circumstances.

Quickly and accurately aligns drill rigs in surface and underground operations. The driller operable device takes approximately 10 minutes to complete, minimising downtime, improving productivity and saving costs.

The magnetic removal tool ensures maximum protection of the core sample and core orientation mark, preserving the accuracy of the core retrieved with reduced human risk and error.

The award-winning cloud-based hub sits at the heart of IMDEX’s solutions, providing real-time secure access to information between the field and the office.

A cloud-based AI spectral interpretation system for portable spectrometer data, used across 100+ minex sites around the world.
