Sonic Drilling Equipment

Boart Longyear’s experience in sonic drilling and engineering and manufacturing means we’re the trusted experts in the field of sonic drilling.

Sonic drilling uses high-frequency, resonant energy to advance a core barrel or casing into subsurface formations. During drilling, the resonant energy is transferred down the drill string to the bit face at various sonic frequencies. Simultaneously rotating the drill string evenly distributes the energy and impact at the bit face.
