What is the rotary speed of a water well drilling rig

Water well drilling rigs typically have rotary speeds between 30 and 90 revolutions per minute (RPM), depending on the type of rig and working conditions. For example, some rigs have an adjustable slew rate of up to 80 RPM. during operation, the slew rate of the drill bit is adjusted according to the hardness of the formation and the depth of penetration to optimize drilling efficiency and prolong the life of the bit.

The rotary speed of the water well drilling rig has a significant impact on the drilling speed, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Crushing efficiency

A higher gyratory speed can increase the frequency of the bit's impact on the rock, thus improving the crushing efficiency. In general, the appropriate rotary speed allows the bit to cut through the formation more efficiently, reducing the time required for drilling

2. Mudflow and slag discharge capacity

In reverse circulation drilling, the gyratory speed is closely related to the mud flow rate. Higher gyratory speed can increase the mud circulation rate (up to 2~4 m/s), effectively carrying and discharging slag and enhancing the slag removal capacity, thus improving the overall drilling efficiency.

3. Drill life

High rotary speed helps to break up the rock quickly so that the drill bit does not have to repeat the breakup after cutting into the formation, thus prolonging its service life. As the slurry quickly carries away loose rock debris, it reduces wear on the drill bit.

4. Adaptability and stability

Different formations have different requirements for the rotary speed. In harder or complex geological conditions, lower speeds may be required to avoid excessive wear or damage to the equipment. In softer or easier-to-cut formations, the speed can be increased to speed up drilling.

To summarize

The rotary speed of a water well drilling rig directly affects many aspects such as crushing efficiency, mud fluidity, slag discharge capacity, and bit life. Therefore, in actual operation, it is necessary to flexibly adjust the rotary speed according to the specific geological conditions and engineering needs to achieve the best drilling effect.

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...
