Drilling is in our DNA

Ausdrill Northwest is part of the Ausdrill Group, founded in 1987 in Kalgoorlie with a single drill rig. Today Ausdrill provides drilling services ranging from exploration to drill and blast, grade control, coal seam gas and water well drilling, to resource companies across Australia and in Africa.

To support its drilling operations, Ausdrill also designs and manufactures its own drill rigs, DTH drilling consumables and rods. Ausdrill uses its extensive fleet in the field, and thousands of drilling professionals, to develop and test new drilling technology. This helps keep Ausdrill at the forefront of the drilling industry & ensures there is no ground that Ausdrill can't drill productively.
