Hydro Resources-West Inc. announced the arrival of its newest drill rigs into the Cal- ifornia market. The new rig is a Schramm T200XD top drive rig which is equipped with dual-tube reverse circu- lation drill pipe (Matrix Drilling Products). The rig is ideally suited for difficult drilling conditions and can be applied to many other water well applications. The rig was built and certified with API standards (4F, 8C, and 7K). The rig package also in- cludes Schramm's LoadSafe pipe handler and power breakout. These features effectively make the rig a "hands-free" pipe handling operation.
