April,2025, FORWARD, a professional manufacturer of core drilling rigs, announces the successful completion of a demanding drilling project by its C6 drilling rig, which achieved a total drilling depth of 1,970 meters at a 23-degree inclined angle. This milestone demonstrates the C6’s strong technical capability, operational stability, and reliability in complex drilling conditions.

Inclined drilling at shallow-to-moderate angles places high demands on a rig’s feed system, torque stability, hole deviation control, and overall structural rigidity. Throughout the project, the FORWARD C6 maintained smooth operation, precise control, and consistent penetration performance, meeting all technical requirements without major interruptions.

“Reaching nearly 2,000 meters at a 23-degree angle is a real test for any core drilling rig,” said a FORWARD representative. “The C6’s performance in this project confirms its ability to handle long, inclined holes with confidence and consistency.”

Designed for Deep and Inclined Drilling

The successful completion of this project highlights several key strengths of the FORWARD C6 drilling rig:

• High torque and stable rotation, ensuring reliable core recovery at extended depths

• Robust feed and pullback system, providing smooth rod handling in inclined holes

• Rigid mast and base structure, supporting accurate alignment and reduced deviation

• Reliable hydraulic and control systems, enabling continuous operation under demanding conditions

Operators reported stable drilling parameters and predictable machine response throughout the full depth of the hole, reinforcing the C6’s suitability for deep exploration and angled drilling applications.

Proven Performance in Demanding Applications

This achievement adds to the growing record of successful field deployments of the FORWARD C6 drilling rig across a variety of challenging geological and operational environments. Whether operating in deep-hole exploration, inclined drilling programs, or remote locations, the C6 continues to demonstrate dependable performance and engineering integrity.

FORWARD remains committed to delivering drilling rigs that combine practical design, proven components, and real-world reliability, helping customers complete complex drilling projects safely and efficiently.
