Borehole Mining

No longer a science project, borehole mining is proving itself as a workable technology that can be applied to a number of industries. Hydraulically jet-cutting a cavern of rock 20 feet in diameter from a drilled bore hole allows this system to recover resources previously uneconomical for open pit or underground mining operations. The technology also has applications for creating large scale low damage underreams for gas well completions and is effective for mining and removing resources that cannot be dewatered.  Selective mining from surface can target resource bodies 1,000 feet deep. Short cutting time eliminates rig and pump costs for well cavitations and air shrouded jets, to increase submerged hydraulic horse power. The system utilizes low energy with proven hydraulics air-lift. The system has distinct advantages for certain applications. It eliminates diamond damage. The wet lift controls dust for safe uranium operations. The submerged operation allows coal and kimberlite access from flooded access. Kinley has designed surface separation and recirculation equipment and has utilized proven industry standard jet technology.

Energy

Kinley provides integrated project management services to the Energy Industry. Whether a new offshore frontier play, an extreme access onshore play, or an unconventional resource development, our diversified team provides well over a century and a half of experience in the most remote regions of the world.  Team members recently have developed a 500 well gas field in SE Kansas, proved up 1.6 Billion Barrels (BOE) (Prospective and Contingent) in the East Mediterranean with dual axis 3D),  proved up 42 TCF of prospective resource in Sub Saharan Africa by drilling 90 wells in the Kalahari, and are currently evaluating and operating a 13 million acre project on and offshore in Namibia, where to date we have proved up over a Billion barrels of prospective oil.  With decades of experience in the Canadian Oil Sands and heavy oil plays, the team is currently managing a 140,000 acre heavy oil play for Kinley’s Canadian affiliate Tonare Energy LLC. Kinley is exploring and developing this field through regional interpretation and based line exploration for both cold and thermal heavy oil potential

Oil Sands

Oil sands drilling and exploration programs, whether by track, wheel, barge or helicopter, are critical to project feasibility.  With a quarter century of experience in the oil sands, managing complete exploration programs from “dots on the map” to “core in the freezer” and “logs in the database”, Kinley has a long, respected history in oil sands exploration programs.  Multi-rig projects of up to 3,000 wells have required as many as 20 rigs and the management of everything from field geological assessment to large diameter coring.  Kinley has the oil sands exploration experience needed to effectively and economically manage oil sands projects in the most remote locations, whether in Canada, Brazil, Suriname, Turkey or Madagascar.
