The modular concept of this drill permits the operator to select components for a system, which is specifically tailored to meet certain drilling requirements. The Longyear 44 has an important safety feature, namely an automatic pre-torque and breakout tool. The drill can be trailer mounted and skid mounted for vertical and angle drilling. The Longyear 44 can drill up to 450 m HQ and 650 m NQ (depend on the ground condition).
