How to determine whether the geology is suitable for the operation of water well drilling rig

 There are some factors about the geology of water well drilling rig:

1. Geological survey

Drilling for sampling: Through drilling and sampling, we can directly observe the lithology, structure, color, and other characteristics of the core and judge the hardness and permeability of the stratum.

Exploration: To understand the distribution and structural characteristics of underground strata by using physical ex

Regional Geologic Maps: Analyze regional exploration methods, for example, the resistivity method and seismic surveys.

Hydrogeological investigation: we can through water level observation of wells, pumping tests, and other methods understand the water level, water quantity, and water quality.

2. Analysis of geological data

geologic maps to understand the lithology, tectonics, and other geologic background of the area.

Borehole data: By analyzing historical borehole core data and logging information, we can determine the variation patterns of the geological formations


3. Factors affecting the operation of drilling rigs


Rock properties: Rock hardness, degree of fragmentation, degree of joint and fissure development, etc. will affect the drilling speed and wear of drilling tools.

Stratigraphy: Structural features such as stratigraphy, interbedding, faults, etc. can affect drilling stability.

Groundwater: High groundwater levels and volumes can affect the stability of boreholes and increase the risk of collapse.

4. Suitable lithology for water well drilling rigs

Gravel layer: good water permeability, easy to produce water, is a good aquifer.

Fissured rocks: Rocks with developed fissures, such as granite, metamorphic rocks, etc., can also form good aquifers if the fissures are well developed.

5. Suitable lithology for water well drilling rigs

Clay layer: Poor water permeability of the clay layer makes drilling difficult and prone to jamming.

Hard rock: Granite, basalt, and other hard rock,

How to use water well drilling rig lubricant correctly

  The use of coolant for water well drilling rigs has some similarities to the use of coolant for general drilling, but also has some unique considerations due to the special working environment and requirements of water well drilling rigs. The coolant used in water well drilling rigs is often referred to as “drilling fluid” or “mud”, and its function is not only cooling, but also includes carrying rock cuttings, stabilizing the wall of the well, and balancing formation pressure. The following is a detailed explanation of how to use water well drilling rig coolant correctly: 1. Main functions of drilling fluid: Cooling and lubricating the drill bit:  Reducing the temperature of the drill bit and drill pipe, reducing wear and prolonging service life. Carrying rock cuttings:  Bringing the rock cuttings generated during the drilling process from the bottom of the well to the surface, preventing the accumulation of rock cuttings from clogging the drill bit and the bottom of t...

What are the Basic Maintenance Methods for Water Well Drilling Rigs

  Cleaning: After every day's operation, clean the mud, oil, and other debris on the rig in time to keep the rig clean. Checking lubrication: regularly check  the lubrication points to ensure that the lubricant is sufficient and the grease is clean. Fasteners check: you can check whether the bolts and nuts of each part are loose and tighten them in time. Hydraulic system checks: you can check whether the hydraulic oil level is normal, whether there is no leakage phenomenon, and whether the hydraulic oil is clean. Lubrication system maintenance: regular replacement of lubricating oil, grease, cleaning oil filter, and oil tank. Hydraulic system maintenance: regular replacement of hydraulic oil, cleaning hydraulic filter. Cooling system maintenance: clean the radiator, and check the coolant level. Transmission system maintenance: check the tightness of the transmission belt, and replace the worn transmission belt. Electrical system maintenance: check whether the line is firm...

How to adjust the slurry pump impeller clearance

  Adjust the core principle of the slurry pump impeller: adjust the clearance between the impeller and the front guard plate (or front and rear sheath) to ensure the efficiency and life of the pump. Too large a gap is low efficiency, too small a gap is easy to wear. 1. vertical slurry pump: Loosen the compression bolt of the bearing assembly. Unscrew the adjusting bolt to move the bearing assembly forward while manually rotating the shaft in the direction of pump rotation until the impeller slightly touches the front guard plate. (Rubber-lined pump) Measure the clearance between the impeller and the front and rear sheaths separately, and take half of the distance moved by the bearing assembly as the clearance value. Use the adjusting bolt to precisely adjust the clearance to the specified value (metal liner 0.5-1mm, rubber liner front and rear sheath clearance is equal). Tighten the compression bolt of the bearing assembly. 2. Center-open slurry pump: Factory has been adjusted, gen...
