IPI tools are ideally suited to the unique challenges in Mineral Exploration and Mining. Leading consultants, contractors and drilling companies around the world rely on IPI for solutions:
- SWiPS® through-the-bit wire line hydraulic packer system is now the world leader for permeability testing in deep and demanding core holes. Available as standard for “P”, “H” and “N” sizes, in modular single / straddle formats. Compact and simple, SWiPS® makes testing possible where gas-inflate packers can't.
- STX-60 Well Testing Tool with an integral down-hole shut-in capability and setting tool, enabling both more advanced permeability testing (e.g. IFO) and multiple testing in one trip. Can be run on rods or through-the-bit in P and H sized wire line systems. Modular single/straddle format with a wide range of packer options - including medium pressure SWiPS series and high pressure versions.
- Gas Packer systems – including traditional formats and adaption kits to run SWiPS either hydraulically or pneumatically with surface inflation control.
- Flow Meter Skids for use with the above tools, some with data logger capability and up to 5,000 psi rating.
- DuraFRAC® heavy-duty packers for hydraulic pre-conditioning in block cave mining and de-stressing for rock burst mitigation and longwall operations.
- ESP Hanging Packer System, one of a range of modular pump hanger systems for de-watering and selective zone pumping, including PurgeSAVER™, which reduces the volume of fluid that must be pumped from a monitoring well to collect representative water samples.
In addition to other Water Well products for Mining which include Casing Packers and Bridge Plugs for well abandonment.
