Ways to of development of exploration drilling technology
Abstract
The low rate of exploration drilling and its insufficiently high quality are mainly explained by an imperfect and outdated technical base. At present, in the post-war period, extremely favorable conditions have been created for a deep reconstruction of the technical base of exploration drilling, since it is now, in full breadth, that the question arises about the need to urgently boost this industry, which was lagging behind in the pre-war period. To improve the technical base of exploration drilling, it is necessary to follow two paths: 1) along the path of small-scale mechanization and 2) along the path of creating new equipment. As a new technical base, we can outline: 1) turbodrill, 2) electric drill, 3) hydraulic hammer drill. Let us briefly dwell on what the new technology can provide to increase the productivity of exploration drilling, and indicate possible prospects (see article).
