Tanzania
Geological conditions and suitable drilling solutions for projects in Tanzania.
Country Geology
Tanzania has diverse geological conditions including crystalline basement rocks, volcanic formations and sedimentary formations.
Hard basement and volcanic formations can require DTH drilling, while weathered and sedimentary zones may be better suited to rotary or mud rotary methods.
Suitable Drilling Methods
DTH
DTH is suitable for hard crystalline basement, granite, gneiss and volcanic formations.
Mud Rotary
Mud Rotary is suitable for softer weathered zones, clay, sand and overburden.
What the Drilling Rig Needs
High torque drilling
DTH capability for hard formations
Mud rotary capability for overburden
