Explore our capabilities

Ventia is a trusted partner in safe and efficient mineral drilling operations. 

Ventia provides safe, efficient and reliable mineral drilling services for exploration and production projects. Our experienced crews and modern equipment deliver tailored solutions to our customers.

Most of our rigs are set up as multipurpose (reverse circulation, conventional mud/air and coring), allowing one rig to be used for different purposes. This allows us to service all our clients' drilling needs with one rig (such as geotechnical, exploration, production, water bores and groundwater monitoring networks) and reducing cost to the client by minimising mobilisation and crew costs.

We are key service provider to energy producers across Australia.

We value collaboration with our clients and seek to provide customised drilling solutions.

Designed to meet the need for efficiency in performance and production, our rigs and equipment reduce non-productive time during rig moving, rig up/down time, limit manual handling and reduce transportation costs. Rig and equipment packages are modular and offer great flexibility in operations and significant efficiencies in inter-well transportation

We provide end-to-end engineering and manufacturing solutions.

At our Ventia engineering and manufacturing facility based in Withcott we specialise in bespoke projects utilising a combination of our dedicated team providing end to end mechanical design, project planning fabrication, coatings to final assembly and commissioning. This in-house capability provides Ventia with a competitive edge.
