The article considers a promising method of drilling and well cleaning with the use of a dynamically counterbalanced drilling rig on a supporting cable, characterized by increased operational parameters and simplicity of construction. It is possible to use this drilling rig for a wide range of works. A progressive step in this area can be the creation of a drilling unit with a drive from an asynchronous squirrel cage motor. At the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electromechanics research of dynamically counterbalanced drilling unit is carried out, a mathematical model is developed and an experimental unit is created to study the mode of operation of the drilling unit.
