Sonic drill heads

RSS Secon sonic heads have been tested the last seven years under the harshest of drilling environments and have predictable maintenance schedules.

The Sonic Drilling Institute is a research-driven organisation that focuses on advancing scientific research for sonic drillers and rig manufacturers, translating scientific knowledge into practical solutions. Listening to drillers and solving their problems lie at the core of its mission. The company is currently developing the next generation of sonic drilling technology called Sci-Ex, powered by U-Sonic, a proprietary computer code that numerically models sonic drilling systems. By synthesising scientific insights into tangible red and green zone gauges ensures optimal drilling performance.
