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 extend the life of drill pipe

  1. When using a new drill pipe, the drilling rig manufacturer should make sure that the wire fasteners on the front cut-off (protecting the shaft head) of the drill bit are also close to the new one. A ring-buckled rotating head can easily damage the wire fasteners of the new drill pipe, resulting in leaks, snaps, and loosening, and so on. 2. In the use of drill pipe for a drilling, should be first “grinding new buckle”, which consists of, first smeared with silk buckle oil, and then use the drill rig full torque, and then open the buckle, and then smeared with silk buckle oil and then open, and so on for three times, you can avoid the new wear and buckle. 3. As far as possible to maintain the drill pipe under the ground and on the ground in a straight line, so as to avoid part of the side of the wire buckle force and cause unwanted wear and tear, or even jump buckle, pay attention to the rig anchored to avoid the construction of the force to move is very important. 4. The buckle...

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...

Use and maintenance of drill bits

Use and maintenance of drill bits: 1. Choose a suitable drill bit:  Before using a drill bit, it is necessary to select the appropriate type and specification of drill bit based on drilling conditions and needs. 2. Installing the drill bit:  When installing the drill bit, it is necessary to ensure that the connection between the drill bit and the drill pipe is firm, and to correctly install the cutting teeth of the drill bit. 3. Maintain appropriate drilling speed and pressure during the drilling process:  Excessive drilling speed and pressure can lead to premature wear and damage of the drill bit, while too small can affect drilling efficiency. 4. Regular inspection and maintenance:  Regularly check the wear of the drill bit and replace severely worn components in a timely manner. At the same time, it is necessary to regularly clean and lubricate the drill bit to extend its service life. 5. Storage and preservation:  When storing and preserving drill bits, it i...
