Well it’s been 10 years since we started drilling out west and we are back at the place where it all started. This is the forth bore we have drilled a Nive Downs at Augathela 😊 who would have thought that the work would just keep coming. We enjoy working with all the great people out this part of the world and continue to provide better service for them 😊😊😊

Well it’s been a little while. We have just completed the deepest hole we have ever drilled to a depth of 805m. 60m of 8” steel casing in the top and 700m of 6” steel casing cemented in then 4” steel casing to the bottom 😊 it was not without its troubles but we slowly overcome them and got the job done with most of the time with just Tanya and myself on the rig. It took most of the day just pulling the 135 joints off drill pipe out. The end result was about 5 LPS pumped tested at 50m

As the owner of a small water drilling company based on the Sunshine Coast with 100% of our work around Roma and surrounding areas. We have a small crew with Peta Gibson in the office Tanya Midolo and myself on the rig. We pride ourselves on looking after our customers and doing the right thing by them. We also do our very best to look after the water 💦 aquifers that supplies the water ( without them we couldn’t survive) We would like to clarify that the attached article is NOt Gibson Drilling Services. Hope everyone is well and stay tuned for more exciting things coming from us 👍👍👍

Our golden rule for water bore drilling in Queensland is simple: Make sure there is a licensed driller carrying out or supervising the activity on site. ✅

That goes for landholders AND businesses, as the owner of Sunshine Coast water bore drilling company learned the hard way in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court last week.

They were fined $30,000 plus ordered to pay legal costs, after our department’s compliance investigation found the company owner knowingly directed unlicensed employees to drill 11 water bores without constant supervision. The investigation also found that the company owner provided false and misleading information to the department to conceal the unlawful water bore drilling activities.

The company owner pled guilty to 17 breaches of the Water Act 2000. No conviction was recorded.

Licensed water bore drillers are qualified to drill water bores safely and to Queensland’s required standards. When a bore is not drilled correctly, it can damage the water aquifer and collapse or fail, costing landholders thousands to remediate or decommission.

Our department is here to support water bore drillers to do the right thing and crack down on those who don’t.

Yesterday the 7/5/2025 marks 20 years since my old boss and the bloke that got me into this drilling thing was killed in a plane crash. I worked for that one company for a little over 10 years but they sponsored me and my Race Car quite a while before that. So that means I have been drilling for a little over 30 years and don’t look a day over 25 😂😂 RIP Noel you were a great bloke 👍👍👍
