Ghana Drills Deeper Adapted from Information by Boart Longyear Boart Longyear’s crews drilled the deepest hole ever in Ghana, reaching a depth of over 6800 feet. The team installed a wedge, and started navi drilling the hole on track at a depth of 2000 feet. The directional drilling project for Golden Star was completed safely and ahead of schedule. Division Manager West Af r ica Jonathan Madigan said, “Our drilling crew in Ghana on this project worked safely and diligently in directionally drilling the hole to the target depth. I couldn’t be more proud of the team that completed the project. Boart Longyear’s con- sistent hazard- and risk-focused safety culture is embraced by the crews here in Ghana, and they appreciate that the field level risk assessments, preshift meetings, and other safety programs are designed to get them home safe to their families.” The client gave recognition to Boart Longyear for their safe, on-target, and ahead- of-schedule completion of the deep coring exploration drilling project. Boart Longyear in turn acknowledged the participation, collaboration, and contributions from every employee within Ghana, especially the team that drilled the record-breaking hole.
