Capability Statement


EarthReach is an established provider of engineering and project management to the Oil and Gas Industry specialising in Extended Reach Drilling in its role as a technology intrinsic to the sustainable future of the oil and gas industry. Encouraged by demand for coal-seam drilling services, EarthReach has established a new company, EarthReach Coal Pty. Ltd., to provide technology and expertise to the Australian CSG market.

EarthReach Coal specialises in Drilling Services that take the drama out of Surface to In-Seam well construction projects, and differentiates itself by developing technologies and services appropriate to the scale and needs of the CSG industry. We blend the effective established techniques of the minerals business with the technology of the oil and gas industry to better meet the increasing technical and commercial standards demanded by our clients.

EarthReach founder, Mike Cunnington, has relocated to Brisbane to head up the venture, and a strategic supplier alliance has been negotiated with Halliburton to ensure the company has sufficient tools, personnel and technology necessary to meet any level of demand. Mike is joined in managing EarthReach Coal by Paul Halstead, who was formerly supervisor of directional drilling in the Sydney Basin for AGL’s CSG project there.
