ACES Dubai Acquires a New PQ Wire line System

ACES-Dubai acquired additional new PQ wire-line systems to improve the efficiency of drilling works at the site. The PQ wire-line systems have proved beneficial in major projects where large diameter cores are required. Total 5 Nos. of systems are available with ACES-Dubai. New systems eliminate the major time consuming operation of using standard conventional system - pulling, stacking and lowering drill rods each time the core barrel is full.

Using a wire-line system, core is recovered quickly by retrieving the core-laden inner tube directly through the drill string. The rods remain in the hole until the bit needs to be replaced. This has major cost advantages when drilling deep holes.
