Norilsk Nickel has begun pilot testing of a new drilling complex designed for creating ultra-long wells. at its Taimyr mine.
The Taimyr mine is part of the Polar branch of the company.
The technology will expand access to previously inaccessible areas of the orebody and increase the efficiency of field development.
During the tests, Nornickel’s specialists, together with equipment developers, will work out the parameters of the complex, select an effective drilling tool and adapt technological solutions to the specific geological conditions of the site.
