Addressing Groundwater Challenges in Rotary Drilling

Groundwater intrusion is a frequent issue in rotary drilling, particularly in areas with high water tables or aquifers. Proper management is essential to ensure borehole stability and maintain project timelines. Advanced rigs like the XCMG Used Rotary Drilling Rig and SANY Used Rotary Drilling Rig are equipped with tools to tackle these challenges effectively.

Common Groundwater Challenges in Drilling

1. Water Ingress: High-pressure groundwater seeps into the borehole, destabilizing walls.
2. Increased Tool Wear: Water accelerates the degradation of drill bits and other components.
3. Soil Erosion: Water movement within the borehole can erode soil, causing instability.
4. Reduced Drilling Efficiency: Excess water complicates soil removal and increases downtime.
