How advancing rock core drilling rig technology boosts deep-sea hydrothermal exploration

Developing rock core drilling rig technology greatly advances hydrothermal sulfide exploration.

 

  1. Greater drilling depth: New rigs reach deeper seabed layers, letting humans explore deeper sulfide resources.
  2. Higher sampling efficiency: More automated systems cut sampling time, increasing samples per hour to speed exploration.
  3. Better sample quality: Advanced techniques yield more intact, pure cores, providing higher-quality data for research.
