We accommodate ID sizes ranging from .984” to 8.00” ID in lengths up to 415”. This combination of diameters and lengths allows us to cater to a number of applications, including drill collars, drilling either from one side only or from both ends. Additionally, we trepan ID sizes ranging from 6.50” to 14.00” ID up to 200+” long. Our expertise extends across a variety of materials, ensuring we can meet the specific requirements of our clients' projects.
