Longbore’s wide range of drilling systems meet and exceed the requirements of virtually any precision horizontal application. All of our equipment is state of the art, rigorously maintained and mobile throughout the United States, Canada and Europe.

A typical large drilling system comprises four trailer mounted modules plus auxiliary equipment. Following arrival on-site it takes approximately a day to rig-up or rig-down after completion of a bore.
