Resource Discovery: It is a key method for locating valuable natural resources like minerals and oil and gas reserves, contributing to economic development.
Environmental Assessment: Exploration drilling assesses the environmental impact of potential mining or construction projects, ensuring responsible resource development.
Infrastructure Planning: Data from drilling assists in planning infrastructure projects, such as roads, bridges and pipelines, by providing critical subsurface information.
Risk Reduction: For industries like mining and construction, exploration drilling minimises financial risks by providing accurate information about the availability and quality of resources.
