Energy Drilling Australia Mobilizes Schramm Rig to Drill in Cooper Basin

‘‘It arrived on time and it has been mobilized on time.

‘‘In part this is because we had our own people overseeing compliance with Australian standards at the Schramm plant in the US to ensure that when the rig was delivered to us the bulk of the work had already been undertaken.’’

EDA has certainly come a long way since its establishment in 2009 specifically to pursue opportunities in the coal seam gas space by providing drilling services and well servicing into this expanding sector.

The company specializes in providing coal seam gas exploration and production, and is moving into the more conventional oil and gas exploration, across Australia’s key energy regions.

The company has successfully completed drilling programs for some of Australia’s largest energy companies operating in the Galilee, Surat, Cooper Basins and the South Georgina Field, offering both drilling and well servicing for projects at varying stages of completion.

Over the past few years, EDA has witnessed considerable growth, increasing from one rig to a rig fleet that now includes:

  • A Foremost Explorer III-65 drill rig with a depth capability of 4,593 feet (1,400 meters) with 31 man camp
  • Two Schramm TXD 200E drill rigs, each with a depth capability of 7,546 feet (2,300 meters) with 31 man camp
  • Two C-Tech Rapid Service Rigs to be utilized for general well servicing & completions; and
  • A C-Tech truck mounted Coiled Tubing Unit to be utilized for well servicing operations

The new Schramm T500XD is specifically designed for horizontal and directional drilling to a total depth of 14,763 feet (4,500 meters) or more.
