Drill Force, with the assistance of MITO, are currently up-skilling staff through their drilling certificate levels.
With modern equipment, a New Zealand focused management team, experienced field staff, along with the "hands on" knowledge and experience to "think outside of the square" (thus the ability to assist with well and project design), we will provide you with a cost competitive Quality and Service orientated drilling solution.
