Digital and Intelligent Development of Water Well Drilling Rig in Hydrogeological Exploration

A water well drilling rig is going digital and intelligent, boosting exploration efficiency and data accuracy.

 

  1. Digital parameter collection: Modern rigs have sensors to collect speed, torque, pressure in real time. Data transmits wirelessly, auto-generating logs. A smart rig logs every 10 seconds, 99% accurate—no human error.
  2. Remote monitoring and smart drilling: Satellites and telecom let centers track rigs, even control start/stop. One firm monitors 20 rigs, intervening remotely to cut on-site work. AI adjusts parameters by rock hardness—e.g., higher torque for hard rock. Efficiency up 30%, core recovery over 90%.
  3. 3D modeling: Drill data merges with geophysics/remote sensing to build 3D models. A region’s model shows underground rivers and caves, aiding karst water exploration.

These techs turn the water well drilling rig into smart gear. They lead hydrogeology into precision and efficiency for water well drilling rigs.
