A drive system for driving and/or extracting an elongate member. The drive
system comprises a piston drive assembly, a hydraulic system, and a
vibration drive assembly. The piston drive assembly comprises a piston
member, and the piston member engages the elongate member. The hydraulic
system is operatively connected to the piston drive assembly to apply a
drive force to the piston member. The vibration drive assembly generates
a vibratory force. The vibration drive assembly is operatively connected
to the piston drive assembly. The drive system operates in a first mode
in which the drive force and the vibratory force are applied to the
piston member along a drive axis.
