Kondex Simplifies Drilling in Coral and More
Drilling in coral is a beast. Long hours and heavy wear from this high-density rock typically meant little gain and frequent bit replacements. That is until Kondex brought its Drill Defender system to Miami. The drill crew ran a complete Kondex string, including its starter rod, collar, sonde housing, and cobble bit. They were quickly convinced the tooling worked better than anything they’d tried – reducing their total drill time to a fraction of what it was!
“[It took] 2.5 hours to get [the] shot out with this [Kondex] head versus 8 hours with the regular one.”
By the end of the job, the Kondex drill string had over 4,500 feet on it – all in coral – before going to the next job. The Kondex components held up well with minimal wear.
Stories like this are not unique to coral. Kondex products keep drillers running longer with less maintenance for more profitability! Increase your cut with Kondex HDD components. Learn how at kondex.com/drill-defender.
