The geological structure changes of salt layers and the response of water well drilling RIGS

News 3 Views
Salt layers’ geological structures aren’t uniform, often with interlayers and faults.water well drilling rig

 

  1. When water well drilling rig encounter such changes, issues like hole deviation or stuck drills may occur.
  2. During drilling, strengthen geological monitoring: use measurement-while-drilling to track subsurface conditions in real time.
  3. Adjust drilling parameters and bit types promptly upon finding geological changes:
    • Choose suitable bits based on interlayer hardness.
    • Slow down and enhance wall protection when hitting faults to prevent collapse.
  4. These measures ensure smooth drilling in complex salt layer geological structures.
