Drilling

Introduction

Wells have been known since ancient times as the main source for extracting groundwater from within the layers. The well is a tubular hole that penetrates the water-bearing layers, inside which water is collected and then brought to the surface to benefit from it. Previously, the process of bringing water to the surface was done by old common methods such as buckets. At the present time, man has invented water pumps that enable him to raise large amounts of water from inside the well to the surface in a short period of time and from deep layers in an easy and accessible way, and this is what caused the increase in groundwater consumption.

As a result of dealing with rocks of varying hardness, many methods of drilling groundwater wells have been developed to suit the type of layers being drilled, their hardness and the depth of the well. For example, we find that the methods used in excavating very hard rocks such as granite and dolomite with a dense structure differ from the methods used in excavating fragile and loose rocks from the sediments of sandy and gravel rivers. Therefore, the choice of the method of drilling wells has become closely related to the area of ​​the establishment of the well and the nature of its rocks, and some methods of drilling wells have become more common and successful in some regions than in other regions. In spite of this, it is sometimes necessary to modify the drilling process to suit the depth of the well, the drop and the nature of the aquifer, and finally with the main purpose of establishing the well.

Who are we?

Sahab Alofoq for drilling wells is considered one of the leading companies in the Kingdom. The company was established in accordance with the regulations of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia represented by the Ministry of Water and Electricity.. The company implements its projects through a well-trained work group and by using the latest equipment and machinery. And through specialized engineers with extensive experience in this field, the company follows advanced scientific methods in implementing its projects, and specialized geologists to make a description of the site before starting operation and during work, as well as for the soil layers, and submit a technical report on that after the completion of the work.
