Key role of rock core drilling rig in deep-sea hydrothermal sulfide exploration

新闻 8 次
Deep-sea hydrothermal sulfides lie deep in oceans, rich in various metal resources. Rock core drilling rig are core tools to uncover their mysteries, playing irreplaceable roles in exploration.

 

  1. Obtain original samples: Rock core drilling rigs can accurately drill hydrothermal sulfide cores. These samples retain original mineral composition and structure, serving as direct basis for analyzing their formation environment and resource content.
  2. Determine resource distribution: By drilling in different hydrothermal areas, samples from rigs help map sulfide distribution, identifying resource-rich zones clearly.
  3. Explore formation mechanisms: Studying cores reveals the relationship between hydrothermal activity and sulfide formation, offering key clues to understand deep-sea geological processes.

 

Without rock core drilling rig, humans could hardly gain in-depth knowledge of deep-sea hydrothermal sulfides, let alone their resource development.
