Surface drilling

Protek offers surface drilling with a focus on environment, performance and customisation. With a wide range of rigs, carefully customised to meet each project's unique requirements, we perform drilling in some of the world's most challenging environments.

Surface drilling with quality, power and environmental focus

Our machinery is modern and adapted to all types of drilling jobs and challenges, from the smallest spaces to the deepest holes, and the work is done with minimal ground impact.

We are fully equipped for drilling in dimensions BQ, NQ2, NQ3, HQ, HQ3 and PQ (see table further down the page).

We work with the latest technology in core orientation, deviation measurement and water loss measurement - all to ensure maximum data quality. We also carry out assignments such as sealing boreholes or setting down various instruments in boreholes.

All this makes us a flexible partner for everything from geotechnical investigations to exploration in complex terrain.

Flexible drilling mud management - customised for each project

We offer three different methods of drilling mud management, customised to the project's budget, climate conditions and environmental requirements. Our solution is chosen in consultation with the customer to achieve optimal performance, sustainability and cost-effectiveness.

Our methods:

  • Centrifugation - separation of drill cuttings with advanced decanter centrifuge.
  • Chemical dewatering - effective flocculation and sedimentation of sludge.
  • Mobile sedimentation tanks - a robust and simple solution for larger volumes in the field.

Whatever the method, all operations are focused on meeting the customer's objectives and budget, while ensuring an environmentally responsible drilling process.

Global experience, local roots

We have extensive experience of working outside Sweden's borders, often in difficult to access or logistically challenging environments. Our teams are used to drilling from barges, in arctic conditions or in remote locations where flexibility, technical expertise and foresight are crucial.
