What to know about borehole drilling in Cross River

Updated 13 September 2026

A borehole proposal for a Cross River property should explain what is known about the site and what remains uncertain. Supply available investigation records and the intended water demand. Ask the contractor how drilling decisions, changes to the scope and the consequences of unsuccessful work will be recorded and approved.

Define the variation process

For a site near Ikom, plan rig access and the area needed for operations before agreeing mobilisation. Identify construction materials, pump equipment and subsequent tests separately. Request the borehole records and an explanation of the completed installation. Avoid accepting another property's depth or water results as a guaranteed outcome for this location.
