WHAT LED TO THE CREATION OF BORE LOGIC?
The experience of Matrix Drilling Products and Royal Eijkelkamp/Eijkelkamp North America put their collective heads together because of the industry need for service, innovation, and a sense of urgency to serve their clients or prospective clients.

GOALS FOR BORE LOGIC IN THE GEOTHERMAL MARKET?
Our goals are simple: Serve the industry we care about, starting with service!

FAVORITE NEW EQUIPMENT OR PRECISION TOOLING FOR GEOTHERMAL?
Quality tooling is a key component of a drilling contractor’s success. We believe that the Matrix Geo Max drill pipe is the solution because they are engineered to maximize geothermal drilling production. They feature an innovative two-start thread design, significantly reducing makeup and breakout time.

MOST COMMON RIG SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE ISSUES YOU SEE?
Manufacturers and distributors are not supporting the equipment they sell, and the contractors need help that’s not available. Bore Logic is the contractor’s solution.

HOW SHOULD DRILLING COMPANIES SCALE UP TO TAKE ON GEOTHERMAL?
Partner up with other contractors to share the workload, good downhole product suppliers, and find the right rig manufacturer/distributor that can not only sell a rig but support what they sell.

MOST OVERLOOKED ASPECT OF GEOTHERMAL DRILLING?
Equipment service. Bore Logic Service Logic Pros are our solution for any brand rig built today.
