Key Considerations for Rotary Drilling in Adverse Geological Conditions
Rotary drilling in adverse geological conditions, such as fractured rock layers, loose soil, and high groundwater levels, requires careful planning and execution. Advanced equipment like the XCMG Used Rotary Drilling Rig and SANY Used Rotary Drilling Rig provides operators with the precision and power needed to overcome these challenges.
Common Challenges in Adverse Geological Conditions
- Fractured Rock Formations: Increase the risk of borehole collapse and equipment damage.
- Loose Soils: Lead to instability and require additional support mechanisms.
- High Groundwater Levels: Cause water ingress, destabilizing the borehole.
- Hard Rock Layers: Accelerate tool wear and reduce drilling efficiency.
