Lucas is a dominant force in directional drilling, delivering safe, efficient, and innovative solutions across Australia's most challenging mining and energy assets.
On average, we undertake more than 120,000 metres of directional drilling annually, we support our clients with a premier, multi-purpose fleet and an integrated, in-house team of specialist engineers and steerers.
From complex mine degasification and dewatering programmes to extended-reach wellbores, our crews turn complex trajectory paths into predictable, high-performing field realities.
The primary management challenge on any directional project is the risk of communication lag between third-party directional steerers and the drilling contractor. Lucas eliminates this operational bottleneck completely.
We possess the scale, the equipment, and the field intelligence required to execute complex directional profiles, including:
Directional drilling naturally introduces complex downhole forces. Through our Safety in Design (SiD) framework, Lucas systematically identifies and mitigates steering risks before the bit ever scratches the dirt:
Whether you need to scale your annual gas drainage output or execute a high-risk extended-reach wellbore, partner with the team that drills over 120,000 metres a year.
