BADGER

III. Full-Scale Test, Status April 21st

Experienced delays first three months of 2010 due to extremely low temperatures at test site
- Built and introduced heating elements to cover the tool for protection

The full scale closed cavity testing is ongoing

The current Demo50v2 prototype is constructed with specifications and solutions to;
- Demonstrate self burial functionality only
- But with a complex hydraulic drive and electronic control system

BADGER

III. Full-Scale Test, Status April 21st

The current test main purpose is to drill continuously over a certain distance to verify the following;

  • The process of pumping water and drill cuttings in a closed loop circulation system
  • Separation of drill cuttings and water in a sub-merged system
  • Collection of drill cuttings on the compression piston in a sub-merged system
  • Compression of cuttings to a firm plug in a sub-merged closed in cavity

Analysis of the results are ongoing on a continuous basis.

This process is not yet stable enough to conclude.

Badger Explorer - The Overall Concept

An autonomous drilling machine, a rigless “fly by wire” exploration tool
- Drills into the underground and buries itself
- Slim electrically powered drilling system
- Carries sensors, which continuously records data
- Non-reusable exploration tool that remains in the underground

Consists of the following main functions;
- Drill bit driven by an electro-motor and gear
- Cutting transport, separation, deposition, compression and fracture injection device
- Spooled cable, through which power is supplied to the tool and data transferred to surface

Developed through use of proven technology and proprietary solutions
