How does a drill work in Switzerland?
The drill is easy to install and uninstall and operates completely autonomously. Best of all, it operates on normal household current (which in Switzerland is 240 volts). While it drills, it tracks its every movement and steers itself downwards in a straight trajectory. Here’s a graphic that shows how it works.
What are oil and gas drilling rigs?
Oil and gas drilling rigs are very complex systems that contain thousands of processes which must operate 24 hours a day in remote environments and harsh weather conditions. New drilling rig construction can require more than a billion dollars of investment.
