Where unconsolidated formations exist, one option available is to drive the conductor casing through the formation versus attempting to drill open hole to accommodate a “set and cemented” casing. This can be accomplished by using heavy wall conductor pipe and a means to drive it into the ground. OK has two units capable of successfully completing this task.

Drop Hammer

This truck mounted conventional style 4000 lb. drop hammer with dual leads is equipped with frame travel and turntable specifically rigged for driving conductor casings. This unit is excellent for driving mousehole and rathole casings.

Gigant Air Hammer

This self contained unit is equipped with a compressor, picker, tractor and trailer capable of carrying it’s own pipe making it well suited for the completion of difficult jobs. At up to 180 strokes per minute, energy is directed in rapid succession enabling the casing to be driven and effectively cutting it’s own path through gravel formations. The Gigant Air Hammer can drive pipe horizontally or vertically making it suitable for slant hole applications.
