Drilling Rig Selection Guide: Key Parameter Matching Analysis for Actual Application Scenarios

The core of selecting a drilling rig lies in matching the machine's key capabilities to the type of well you intend to drill and the geological conditions. First, you need to clarify the "well depth" and "what's underground." If you're only drilling a shallow water well a few tens of meters deep in relatively soft soil, a simple, lightweight drilling rig with lower power will suffice. However, if you need to drill wells over 100 meters deep, or where there are hard rock layers underground, you must choose a deep-hole drilling rig with stronger power, a more robust structure, and the ability to equip heavy-duty drill pipes and bits.

Key machine parameters need to be understood in conjunction with your specific scenario. The two most important parameters are "maximum drilling depth" and "maximum borehole diameter." When selecting, the "maximum drilling depth" should have at least a 20% margin greater than your target depth to ensure the machine can complete the task easily and without damage. The "borehole diameter" depends on the size of the well casing you plan to insert. Another important parameter is "power head torque," which you can understand as the machine's "rotational force." The harder the rock, the greater the torque required.

Furthermore, practical details also influence the choice. Consider whether your site has easy access to power, which determines whether to choose an electric motor or a diesel engine drive. Also consider transportation and installation conditions: can the machine be easily transported to the site and stably installed? It is recommended that, after determining your general needs, you discuss your geological conditions, target well depth and diameter, power requirements, etc., with several reputable suppliers, asking them to recommend specific models and review actual case studies. This will help you make the most prudent investment.
