DTH Hammer |
The down-the-hole hammer drill is a pneumatically operated
bottom-hole drill that efficiently combines the hitting
action, similar to that of cable tool drilling, with the
turning action of rotary drilling. The pneumatic drill
can be used on any standard rotary rig with an integral
or auxiliary air compressor of sufficient capacity. It
is used for fast and economical drilling of medium to
extremely hard formations. Fast penetration results
from the air piston blows transmitted directly to the
bit, so practically no energy is wasted in chewing up
cuttings. A straight hole is assured by short, rapid blows
that minimize the effect of dipping and broken formations.
Down-the-hole hammer drilling is by far the fastest method
of penetration in hard rock material. The bit is turned
slowly (10 to 15 RPM) by the same method that rotates
the drill bit in the mud or air drilling operation.

Hydraulic Drifter |
This drilling method is top head percussion.
It is used for fast and economical drilling of small size
hole (less than 4Ħħ) and shallow water well. Also, the
method is very useful for casing treatment.
As air compressor is not needed under this method, the
method can save the maintenance & working cost and
the operation is so simple. |

DTH Hammer with Casing (Hyd. Drifter) |
This method can be achieved DTH drilling & Casing
treatment as same time.
DTH Hammer and Hyd. Drifter is working at same time.
Hole drilling has done by DTH hammer
and Casing treatment has done by Hyd. Drifter.
This is new technology of Hanjin.

DTH Hammer with Casing (Overburden System) |
The methods of drilling with casing treatment at same
time are two typical method. One is overburden system
and the other is Dual Rotation System.
This method is using overburden bit, odex bit or tubex
bit and so on. The kinds of bit is just different the
design. However, they achieve same result.

Rotary Drilling with Mud |
In the rotary method of drilling, action is accomplished
by rotating a drill pipe by means of a power driven rotary
table or hydraulic powered top head drive, with a bit
attached to the bottom of the pipe. The bit cuts and breaks
up the material as it penetrates the formation. Drilling
fluid for mud is pumped through the rotating drill pipe
and through holes in the bit. This fluid swirls in the
bottom of the hole picking up material broken by the bit,
then flows upward in the space outside the drill pipe,
carrying the cuttings to the ground surface and clearing
the hole. The greater the fluid flow the faster the drilling.
The drill pipe and bit move downward deepening the hole
as the operation proceeds. At the surface, drilling mud
flows into a ditch to a settling pit where the cuttings
settle to the bottom. From the settling pit the fluid
overflows into another pit from which it is picked up
through the suction hose of the mud pump and re - circulated
through the drill pipe. In the rotary drilling method
the casing pipe is not introduced until after the drilling
operations are completed. The walls of the hole are held
in place by the pressure of the mud pump against the sides
of the hole.

Rotary Drilling with Air |
Air drilling is basically the same as mud drilling except
that the mud pump is replaced by a compressor assembly
including cooling system, air receiver and unloading
system. The air line is connected to the swivel hose
at the top of the top head drive. The air is forced
down through the drilling pipe and out through the holes
at the bottom of the rotary drill bit. A small stream
of water is often introduced into the air system to
help cool the drill bit and control dust. The air serves
to cool the drill bit and force cutting up out of the
hole and is collected at the top. Air is used principally
in hard clay or rock formations, in as much as once
the air pressure is turned off, loose cavy formations
would cave-in against the drill pipe. This is not the
case when mud is used.
