Pilot program
Navilo is under development. The first pilot-ready N and H tools are planned for Q1 2027, and we are building a shortlist of drilling contractors willing to help set practical requirements for the tool, onboarding and monthly rental model.
Prefer to talk it through first? Pick a time that suits you.
What is being tested
- A steerable full-face bit that screws onto the contractor's standard core barrel
- N and H sizes
- Standard rigs, rods and pumps, with no separate drill string or larger pump
- Penetration rate and water use close to standard coring as test targets
What pilot partners get
- Hands-on onboarding for the crew
- Direct influence on product, pilot and exchange requirements
- The option to discuss monthly rental if the test results and pilot fit are convincing
What we ask
- A suitable N or H hole, rig and crew
- Time to review the pilot plan and responsibilities before work starts
- Structured feedback from the crew that runs it
Pilot participation depends on test results, safety review and fit between the planned hole and the tool's development stage.
For directional planning we recommend HolePlan, independent trajectory-design software.
