RE:Price for Drilling ??I drilled a few holes north of Goldboro over the past few years and yes, with drilling, mobilization, cost for drill bits, down hole alignment tests, pump and water line setup etc...150 per meter is about right.
Now for a larger drilling program the costs are reduced and a better price per meter is usually had as the drill is onsite and moves are short and you are drilling a pile of meters...so the economies of scale are in your favor in this situation.
Supply and Deman also factor into this as well...if all drills available are busy...gonna cost you more to get one...have seen that in the past as well.
