This article discusses the key differences between shallow and deep drilling and the right rig selection for each.
Shallow vs. Deep Drilling: Key Considerations When Choosing a Coring Drill
Introduction
Understanding the difference between shallow and deep drilling is essential for selecting the right hydraulic drilling system.
1. Equipment Considerations for Shallow Drilling
- Exploration coring drill rigs for shallow drilling focus on speed and efficiency rather than power.
2. Deep Drilling Requirements and Equipment Selection
- Diamond drilling rigs use high-pressure hydraulic systems for deep rock penetration.
3. The Importance of Core Recovery in Deep Drilling
- Hydraulic controls must be adjusted based on depth changes to prevent core loss.
Conclusion
Choosing between shallow and deep drilling rigs depends on formation type, project scale, and depth requirements.
