In the fields of water conservancy engineering, agricultural irrigation and resource exploration, ‘drilling’ and ‘well drilling’ are often confused, but there are significant differences between the two in terms of technical depth, equipment requirements and project scale.
First, the essential difference between drilling and well drilling
Drilling is a systematic project, which needs to penetrate the ground to the deep aquifer or resource layer, and accurately control the diameter, depth and verticality of the drilling hole, and is commonly used in water wells, geothermal wells, oil and gas exploration and other scenarios. The core equipment, such as crawler hydraulic water well drilling rigs, needs to have high torque, multi-process compatibility and the ability to adapt to complex terrain.
Driven wells is inclined to shallow excavation, mostly refers to the traditional manual or simple mechanical operations, such as hand-dug wells or small percussion drilling, is only suitable for shallow water access, hard rock, quicksand layer and other complex geological processing capacity is limited.
Technical advantages of crawler hydraulic water well drilling rigs
1.Excellent mobility and terrain adaptability
The tracked chassis design makes it walk like a flat track in mud, slopes, deserts and other complex terrains, with a climbing capacity of up to 23°. The rubber tracks can reduce the damage to the urban road surface, and at the same time reduce the noise and vibration of travelling, and save more than 30% of the fuel consumption. The hydraulic outrigger system supports quick levelling, no need for crane-assisted loading and unloading, which significantly reduces the cost of transferring.
2.Efficient operation and multi-process compatibility
Full hydraulic power system: driven by high-torque hydraulic motors, it can easily cope with hard rock, gravel layer and other complex geological conditions.
Multi-functional drilling modes: Supporting submerged hammer percussion, positive/reverse mud circulation, casing follow-up, etc., which can be flexibly switched to adapt to different geological formations such as loose layer and bedrock.
Automated operation: the automatic telescopic drilling tower and hydraulic valve control technology simplify the process of drilling tower lifting and lowering, which improves the working efficiency by more than 30% and reduces the labour intensity.
3.Energy saving, environmental protection and economy
Equipped with low noise diesel engine and foam pump system, it reduces energy consumption and environmental pollution, and meets the green construction standard. The modular design makes the spare parts highly versatile, reduces the maintenance cost, and is conveniently supplied throughout the country.
Application Scenarios of Crawler Hydraulic Water Well Drilling Rigs
Agriculture and people’s livelihood: drilling deep water wells quickly to solve irrigation and drinking water problems in arid areas.
Geothermal development: efficiently penetrate bedrock layers to support geothermal energy extraction.
Infrastructure engineering: used for bridge pile foundation and slope anchoring to enhance construction safety.
Emergency Rescue: Rapidly deployed at disaster sites to provide emergency water sources.
Energy optimisation: hybrid power system to further reduce fuel consumption, such as hydrogen fuel cell drilling rigs to reduce energy consumption by 40%, reduce emissions by 90%.
Process integration: Combining the submerged hammer with rotary drilling technology to break through the bottleneck of drilling in composite strata. For example, the bionic diamond drill developed by Jilin University has increased drilling speed in hard rock by 30-40%.
Conclusion
Crawler hydraulic water well drilling rigs have become the core equipment of modern well drilling project by virtue of their terrain adaptability, process diversity and high efficiency and energy saving characteristics.
