The dip angle of coal seams affects the construction method and borehole trajectory of water well drilling rig.
- Construction in gently inclined coal seams (dip angle < 15°) is relatively simple, feasible with conventional rigs, but verticality control of boreholes should be noted.
- For inclined coal seams (dip angle 15°-45°), the rig needs proper adjustment: adopt oblique drilling technology and use directional drilling to control the borehole trajectory, preventing deviation from the design direction.
- Construction in steeply inclined coal seams (dip angle > 45°) is difficult, requiring special rig equipment and stabilizing devices. Meanwhile, consider the impact of coal seam slippage on boreholes, and adopt measures like segmented drilling and timely wall protection to ensure smooth borehole completion.water well drilling rig
