How to make sure drilling rods don't hit crooked

 Ensuring that the drilling rods do not distort is a crucial part of the drilling process, which directly affects the efficiency of drilling and the quality of hole formation. The following are some common measures:


Pre-drilling preparation
Drilling Tools Inspection.
Drilling tools such as bits, rods and joints should be inspected regularly to ensure that there are no cracks, wear and other defects.
The joints of each component should be tight and free from looseness.
Borehole trajectory design.
Reasonably design the borehole trajectory according to the stratigraphic conditions and construction requirements to avoid drilling into complicated strata.
Drilling fluid preparation.
The drilling fluid should have good rock-carrying capacity and suspension performance to ensure that the drill cuttings are discharged out of the well in time and prevent the borehole from shrinking.

Drilling Process
Drilling pressure control.
Excessive drilling pressure will easily lead to the deflection of drilling tools, while too little will slow down the drilling speed. The drilling pressure should be reasonably controlled according to the stratigraphic conditions.
Speed control.
Too high a speed may cause the drill bit to jump, while too low a speed may slow down the drilling speed. Choose the appropriate speed according to the type of drill bit and the hardness of the formation.

Control of drilling fluid parameters.
Drilling fluid density, viscosity, water loss and other parameters should be adjusted according to the formation conditions to ensure the stability of the borehole.
Timely handling of borehole complications.
Timely measures should be taken to avoid further deformation of the borehole in case of borehole collapse or stuck drilling.
Regular measurement of borehole trajectory.
Regularly measure the trajectory of the borehole with measuring instruments to detect and correct the deviation in time.

Drilling Tool Selection and Maintenance
Drill bit selection.
Select the appropriate type of drill bit according to the hardness of the formation, drilling depth and other factors.
Replace worn bits regularly.
Drill pipe maintenance.
Regularly check the curvature of the drill pipe and replace the badly bent drill pipe in time.
Ensure the sealing of drill pipe joints.

Commonly used methods to prevent drill pipe distortion
Mechanical directional drilling: Use mechanical devices to actively control the deflection direction of the drilling tools.
Drill Follow Measurement: Real-time monitoring of the borehole trajectory by the drill follow measurement instrument to adjust the drilling parameters in time.
Directional Drilling Fluid: Directional drilling fluid is used to control the flow direction of drill cuttings, which in turn affects the deflection direction of the drill bit.

Summarize
Ensuring that the drilling drill pipe does not skew is a systematic project that requires comprehensive consideration of many aspects, such as pre-drilling preparation, drilling process, drilling tool selection and maintenance. If you need to buy the right water well drilling rig, click the link below to contact our professional team.

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...
