Who We Are

DrillGeo Geologia e Sondagens S.A. is a privately held company with 25 years of experience in geological and geotechnical drilling, operating with quality, safety and sustainability nationwide.

Since 2000, we have drilled more than 1.5 million meters across multiple diameters (4½”, 5½”, 6”, B, N, H, P and ZW) in complex mining and geotechnical projects.

610 meters in H diameter for iron ore
1,540 meters in N diameter
125 meters in ZW diameter (194 mm) for metallurgical analysis
220 meters of RC drilling with 5½”

With 40 rigs in operation (Epiroc, Boart Longyear and Hydracore) and ISO 9001:2015 certification, our engineers, geologists and technicians are committed to safety, innovation and sustainability.

FAQ

Have questions?

A drill core is one of the most important and reliable geological samples from the subsurface. It provides a continuous physical record of rock and soil layers at a given depth.

Reverse Circulation (RC or RCD) drilling is an advanced technique used in mineral exploration, geotechnics and deep wells. Its key difference is how rock cuttings are removed from the hole.

They are mixtures of liquids and additives essential for safety and efficiency in extreme drilling conditions, optimizing critical drilling-fluid functions.
