Foremost Industries — Dual-Rotary Water Well Rig

Foremost DR24 for Sale

The DR24 drills and cases simultaneously — the defining advantage of the dual-rotary system. For difficult formations, large-diameter wells, and deep geothermal, it is the rig that others cannot match.

The Dual-Rotary Advantage

Why the DR24 commands a premium — and earns it back on every difficult job.

Simultaneous Drill & Case

The DR24's lower casing drive rotates and advances casing as the top head drills ahead. The bore is protected from collapse at every inch of depth.

Unstable Formations

Gravel, cobbles, loose alluvium — formations where a conventional rotary would collapse the bore are routine for the DR24.

Large Diameter

Casing jaw sets from 6" to 24" standard. No other truck-mounted rig in its class handles 24" casing as efficiently.

Faster Completion

Drilling and casing in one pass eliminates the second mobilisation for casing installation — saving days on larger-diameter wells.

Full Tooling Package

A well-equipped DR24 comes with hammers from 6" to QL120 (12"), multiple jaws and clamps per size, discharge swivels, and drill rod in multiple diameters.

Premium Resale Value

The dual-rotary market is thinner than single-rotary — which keeps values high. A low-hours DR24 is a generational asset.

Applications

🏙️

Large Municipal Wells

High-volume supply wells in unstable geology — where conventional rotary cannot maintain the bore.

🌡️

Geothermal

Large-diameter geothermal bores for utility and district heating — where 16–24" casing is standard.

🏗️

Environmental Wells

Large-bore monitoring wells, remediation installations, and aquifer testing.

🌾

Agricultural (Large Scale)

Deep high-capacity irrigation wells in challenging alluvial and cobble formations.

⛏️

Mine Dewatering

Large-diameter dewatering wells at open-cut mines — fast completion and large casing ID for high pumping rates.

🌍

International Export

Development projects in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East — where large-community water supply wells need the dual-rotary system.
