How to determine the depth of drilling

How to determine the depth of drilling(图1)


Confirming the drilling depth requires consideration of various factors such as geology, engineering, and economy. 

The following is a detailed introduction:


1. Geological factors


Target formation depth: Determine the depth of the formation that needs to be penetrated based on geological 

exploration data.


Hydrogeological conditions: including the thickness, burial depth, and water quality of the aquifer.


Stratum lithology: The difficulty of drilling in formations with different lithologies varies, and suitable drilling tools 

and parameters should be selected according to the lithology.


Groundwater level: The level of groundwater can affect the difficulty and cost of drilling construction.


2. Engineering factors


Equipment performance: The drilling depth of the drilling rig and the length of the drilling tool limit the drilling depth.


Construction technology: Different drilling techniques have varying impacts on drilling depth.


Common methods for determining drilling depth


Geological exploration: Obtaining geological information underground through methods such as geological drilling, 

seismic exploration, and geophysical exploration, providing a basis for determining drilling depth.


Hydrogeological exploration: By using hydrogeological drilling, pumping tests, and other methods, the hydrogeological 

conditions of groundwater are understood, and the depth and thickness of the aquifer are determined.


Engineering experience: Drawing on previous drilling engineering experience and combining it with the geological 

conditions of this project, determine the drilling depth.


Numerical simulation: Using computer software to simulate the groundwater flow field and predict the impact of 

drilling depth on groundwater extraction.


Summary:


Determining drilling depth is a systematic engineering process that requires comprehensive consideration of geological, 

engineering, economic, and other factors. Only through scientific exploration, rational planning, and meticulous construction 

can the smooth progress of drilling projects be ensured. If you don't know how to choose a suitable water well drilling rig,
