Webster Drilling has a long and storied history of scientific drilling in New Zealand and Antarctica, dating back to Bain Webster’s involvement in the Dry Valley Drilling Project in Antarctica in the 1970s.
Since the Dry Valley's Drilling Project, our team has been at the forefront of scientific exploration and drilling throughout New Zealand and around the world.
For over 40 years, we have worked closely with scientists and universities from around the world to achieve their scientific goals.
