Handling Loose Soil Conditions During Rotary Drilling
Loose soil conditions pose significant challenges in rotary drilling projects, including borehole collapse and reduced efficiency. Advanced rigs like the XCMG Used Rotary Drilling Rig and SANY Used Rotary Drilling Rig are designed to tackle these issues effectively, ensuring stability and project success.
Common Problems Associated with Loose Soils
- Borehole Collapse: Unconsolidated soil layers are prone to collapsing under drilling pressure.
- Tool Wear: Abrasive particles increase wear and tear on drill bits and casings.
- Difficult Soil Removal: Loose soils are harder to extract cleanly, leading to inefficiencies.
- Groundwater Challenges: Loose soil often correlates with higher water permeability, exacerbating stability issues.
