This week, the Phoenix Drilling workshop was busy getting our Fraste XL Multidrill and Dando Geotech 6 rigs through scheduled servicing and fabrication — all handled with skill, precision, and care.

Support vehicles also rolled in for routine maintenance, and thanks to our dedicated team, turnarounds were fast, thorough, and seamless.

Reliability on site starts with the people behind the scenes — and our workshop crew consistently delivers.
