News
Here is a copy of the field report for the Schramm rig repairs. (See attached).
Summary:
The Schramm repair technician arrived in Belize on Friday afternoon. We drove down to Independence that evening and began work on the repairs on Saturday morning. By late Saturday afternoon, we had the check valves and both rotation motors replaced. We started the rig motor that evening and began an entire system check. The mast was raised and system pressure tests were performed. We continued the tests, drilling with an auger bit while monitoring the rotation and feed pressures. As of this morning, the rig is fully functional, and most of the tests have been completed. The Treaty Drilling rig crew was trained on operations of the Schramm T-685 Drilling rig, and is now prepared to use the new rig on future wells. We now plan to install new fittings for our mud pump, and other accessories to increase safety while handling drill pipes.
We are very excited to have this rig ready to drill, and look forward to resuming our drilling program with the capabilities of the Schramm T-685 rig.
Thanks
