==Suitable conditions==
Suitable for unconsolidated formations: Sand, silt and clay. Because of the rotation and the drill bit, it is possible to penetrate softer-consolidated formations such as stiff clays, soft sandstone, and weathered laterite.
 
The Rota Sludge method can be used to drill 2-5 inch wells up to 20 m deep.
