THE COST OF DRILLING A BOREHOLE AND FACTORS AFFECTING THE PRICES
THE COST OF DRILLING A BOREHOLE AND FACTORS AFFECTING THE PRICES The cost of drilling a borehole might be relatively low and can also be high. The following are the reasons for varying cost of drilling a borehole: 1. Location The cost of drilling a borehole varies from one location (state,town e.t.c) to another in the same country and its like that all over the world.The reason for that is the fact that we do not have a particular depth to always get water,depth varies from places to places. In some places we have water at a shallow depth ,say a few tens of metres while in other areas you may have to go a few hundreds of metres before hitting your water during drilling .By simple reasoning and calculations,the higher depth is expected to be more costly that a lower depth. 2. The terrain An area with loose, porous soil and permeable rock formations may require a cheaper approach as oppos...
