Whether you are drilling a household drinking water well or an industrial deep well, the following parameters should be given priority when choosing a drilling rig:
1. Key performance indicators
Drilling depth:
Shallow drilling rig: 50-150m (household/irrigation well)
Medium-deep type: 150-600m (community water supply/agriculture)
Ultra-deep type: 600-1200m (geothermal well/mine drainage)
Aperture range:
Standard model: Φ150-500mm (suitable for PVC/steel pipe)
Expansion capacity: Φ800mm can be reached through the reamer (torque required>18,000N·m)
Power configuration:
Diesel engine power: 110-450kW (turbocharged models are recommended for plateau areas)
Hydraulic system pressure: 35-42MPa (high-pressure system improves hard rock penetration efficiency)
2. Formation adaptability parameters
Torque-speed combination:
Formation type | Recommended torque (kN·m) | Speed range (rpm) |
Soft soil layer | 8-15 | 60-120 |
Gravel layer | 15-25 | 40-80 |
Hard rock layer | 25-40 | 20-50 |
Impact frequency (down-the-hole hammer model):
Granite layer: 18-25Hz (with wind pressure 1.2-2.5MPa)
Basalt layer: high frequency 28-35Hz is required
3. Customer cost-sensitive parameters
Fuel efficiency:
Soft rock conditions: 15-20L/h (diesel engine)
Hard rock conditions: 25-35L/h (optimized models can reduce consumption by 12%)
Drill rod life:
Friction welding rod: drilling meters ≥15,000m (unit price ¥800-1200/section)
Ordinary rod: ≤8,000m (unit price ¥400-600/section)
Operation and maintenance cycle:
Lubricating oil replacement: every 200 hours or 50,000m³ rock cuttings
Hydraulic filter: mandatory replacement every 500 hours
4. Intelligent function parameters
Automatic deviation correction system:
Accuracy: ±0.5°/10m (to ensure wellbore verticality)
Gyroscope + tilt sensor real-time feedback
Lithology identification system:
Predict formations through hydraulic pressure/speed change rate (accuracy > 85%)
Remote monitoring:
4G/satellite data transmission, support PC-side real-time drilling analysis
5. Safety and environmental parameters
Noise control:
Sound cover model ≤75dB (national standard requirement <85dB)
Muffler is required for nighttime construction
Mud circulation system:
Environmentally friendly configuration: mud purification rate >90% (reduce wastewater treatment costs)
Circulation box capacity: ≥8m³ (200m deep well requirement)
Selection suggestions
Matching budget and demand: 300,000 yuan light drilling rig can meet 80% of civil water well needs, while large projects recommend the selection of 800,000-1.5 million yuan full hydraulic models.
