Borehole Drilling
Services
A borehole is the generalised term for any narrow shaft drilled in the ground, either vertically
or horizontally. A borehole may be constructed for many different purposes, including the
extraction of water or other liquid (such as petroleum) or gases (such as natural gas), as part
of a geotechnical investigation or environmental site assessment, for mineral exploration, oras a pilot hole for installing piers or underground utilities. Boreholes used as water wells are
described in more depth in that section.
In the engineering and environmental consulting fields, the term is used to collectively
describe all of the various types of holes drilled as part of a geotechnical investigation or
environmental site assessment. This includes holes advanced to collect soil samples, water
samples or rock cores, to advance in situ sampling equipment, or to install monitoring wells
or piezometers. Samples collected from boreholes are often tested in a laboratory to
determine their physical properties, or to assess levels of various chemical constituents or
contaminants.
Typically, a borehole used as a well is completed by installing a vertical pipe (casing) and
well screen to keep the borehole from collapsing. This also helps prevent surface
contaminants from entering the borehole and protects any installed pump from drawing in
sand and sediment. When completed in this manner the borehole is then more commonly
called a well: whether it is a water well, oil well or natural gas extraction well.
Drilling has undergone a substantial evolution from the early days and is now a very
specialised and technical activity requiring substantial skill and professional expertise to
achieve the desired result.
There are various methods for drilling a borehole but the most common methods used todayare rotary drilling, percussion drilling and sonic drilling. With the exception of sonic drilling,
there are different methods for each of the other categories. In addition there are also
different flushing methods for the removal of cuttings from the borehole i.e. direct flush or
reverse flush and different and different flushing media such as air, foam or mud. In the case
of percussion the cuttings are removed by mechanical methods. Possibly the most common
drilling methods used is the rotary method utilising air or mud flush. Using the rotary method
with air flush and an air operated hammer (percussion) mounted in the drill string has the
advantage of being fast, efficient and very controllable. However, different situations may
require different applications, technologies and methodologies to reach a successful project
completion, and that's where the industry experience and expertise of the Drilcorp team can
help. With their skill and knowledge, you can avoid expensive mistakes in your project andrest assured that your borehole will be successfully drilled on time and within budget.
Groundwater Abstraction Boreholes
When drilling a borehole that will ultimately be used for groundwater abstraction purposes,
the process becomes much more than just making a hole in the ground.
A water borehole is a specially engineered hole in the ground, designed to allow water to
flow into this hole and permitting a pump to be installed inside the hole to facilitate the
abstraction of water. Critical to this engineered design are the steps taken to prevent the
surrounding geological formations to collapse and seal off the borehole, which could result inthe entire borehole drilling process being started from scratch, or at a minimum, cleaning out

the hole to recommission it.
Water abstraction is a team effort; the driller is there to drill and construct a borehole, while
the actual location of the water is a task that is carried out by the scientific team members,
led by a hydrogeologist. The scientists have to study the geological formations and
determine how and where the driller should install the borehole. At Drilcorp we have the bestdrillers working with the most accomplished scientists; which together make a formidable
team.
One of the most important aspects of drilling is the absolute necessity to achieve a vertical
borehole. The skill involved in maintaining a vertical borehole as the drill passes though
sand, gravel, clay and hard rock formations to its final destination is one that is only acquired
through many years of drilling experience.
Drill rods can weigh several tons and if too much pressure is applied while drilling or the drill
spins too quickly, it can wear out the bit or overload the rig. Conversely if insufficient
pressure is applied or the spin speed is too slow, it may not penetrate the rock. Add to thisthe complication that several different geological types of strata may be encountered in a
single borehole installation, requiring differing drill pressures and spin speeds and you can
see why this is a task for experienced operators, and why Drilcorp put so much emphasis on
experience and training in their workforce.
Because the drill rods are quite heavy and can weigh several tons; if the drill pushes too
hard or turns too fast, the drill bit will wear out too fast; if it does not push hard enough, it
won't penetrate. Quite often several rock layers are encountered in a single borehole, each
requiring different drilling pressures and speeds. When water is encountered the drilling
becomes even more complex, with the driller having to use his expertise to make vital
adjustments to the pressures and drill speeds in a very short timescale.
The two main types of drilling are:
Rotary drilling using the mud flush technique.
In rotary drilling, a drill bit, which is made from toughened materials such as tungsten, is
attached to a drill pipe. Once drilling has commenced and the bit is breaking through the
substrata, the drill fluids are circulated through the drilling pipework into the borehole and
back to the surface, at the same time washing the drilling residue or cuttings upwards and
out of the hole. This fluid also serves as a formation stabiliser preventing possible cave-in of
unstable sands or crumbly rock before the well casing or well screen is installed. In additionthis fluid acts as a lubricant for the drill bit. As the drill passes through water bearing rock
formations water will flow into the hole. Drillers, or hydrogeologists on site will carefully
monitor the depth of water "strikes" and keep a note of the formations in which they occur.
Rotary drilling using air percussion and flush technique
This technique uses compressed air to operate a down-hole air hammer on the end of the
drill string that helps to break up the rock formation. The compressed air that is used to
operate the down-hole air hammer also blows the crushed rock fragments out of the hole to
the surface along with any water that flows into the hole during drilling. An experienced driller
will realise that water will flow from the hole at specific intervals can be caused by thecompressed air forcing minor water deposits to the surface. Only when the driller is certain

that he has reached the right aquifer will he stop the drilling process.

Hand auger - general
Auger drilling in action
The hand auger consists of extendable steel rods, rotated by a handle. A number of different
steel augers (drill bits) can be attached at the bottom end of the drill rods. The augers are
rotated into the ground until they are filled, and then lifted out of the borehole to be emptied.
A different auger can be used for each formation (soil) type. Hand augering can be done
both by using a heavy tripod and winch (such as the Vonder rig), or with lighter materials.
Above the water table, the borehole generally stays open without the need for support.
Below the water table a temporary PVC casing may be used to prevent the hole from
collapsing, and can be emptied either with an auger or a bailer. The permanent well casing
is then installed, while the temporary casing is removed.
Another option is to use the well casing used as support for the borehole as the permanent
casing (direct installation), although in that case a gravel pack cannot be used.
History and social context
Suitable conditions
The hand auger is suitable for unconsolidated formations: sand, silt and soft clay. Stiff clays,
hard materials and gravels are difficult or impossible to drill through and to remove (unless
augering is combined with percussion).
Augers can be used up to a depth of about 15-25 meters, depending on the geology.

Auger drilling in temporary casing
Advantages Disadvantages/limitations
- Easy to use above the groundwater table - It may be very difficult to remove the
temporary casing. If clay layers are
penetrated, it is very difficult to use a
temporary casing, as it sticks to the clay.
- The borehole does not stay open if a
collapsing sand layer is encountered below a
clay layer (through which the temporary
casing could not penetrate)

ROTARY DRILLING
In the rotary method, the hole is drilled by a rotating bit to which a downward force is applied.
The bit is fastened to, and rotated by, a drill string, composed of high quality drill pipe and
drill collars, with new sections or joints being added as drilling progresses.
The cuttings are lifted from the hole by the drilling fluid which continuously circulated down
the inside of the drill string through water courses or nozzles in the bit, and upward in
annular space between the drill pipe and bore hole.
At the surface, the returning fluid (mud) is diverted through shale shakers, desilters,
desanders and series of tanks or pits which treat the fluid. In the last of these pits the mud is
picked up by the pump suction and repeats the cycle. Figure 1 shows the basic components
of a rotary drilling rig.

Making a connection, the process of adding a new joint of pipe to the drill string is shown in
Figure 2. Periodically the pipe must be removed from the hole in order to replace the bit.
The operation is illustrated in Figure 3.
The basic drilling components are:
1. Derrick, mast and substructures
2. Drawworks
3. Mud pumps

Derrick, mast and substructures
The function of a derrick is to provide the vertical clearance necessary to the raising and
lowering of the drill string into and out of the hole during the drilling operations.
Derricks are rated according to their ability to withstand two types of loading:
1. Compressive loads
2. Wind loads
The allowable compressive load of a derrick is computed as the sum of the strengths of thefour legs. Derricks with load capacities from approximately 86,000 to 1,400,000 lb,
depending on steel grade and leg size are available.
Allowable wind loads for API derricks are specified in two ways, with or without pipe setback.
With pipe setback, the wind may be blowing perpendicular to it, which is essentially a pipe
wall. This is the worst possible condition.
Wind loads are calculated by the formula:
P = 0.004V2
where P = wind load, lb/ft2
V = wind velocity, mph

Calculation of Derrick Loads
The block and tackle arrangement for a rotary rig is shown in Figure 4. Assuming that the
system is frictionless, the following relationship are apparent:
Wn
2nFd
+=
where Fd = total compressive load on the derick
n = number of lines through the travelling block (those supporting
W).
W = hook load
11

The derrick load is always greater than the hook load by the the factor of (n+2)/2 due to the
two additional lines (drawworks and anchor) exerting a downward pull.
During hoisting:
vL = nvA
where vL = velocity of line being spooled (or unspooled) at the drawworks
during hoisting.
vA = hook velocity

Drawworks (hoist)
The drawworks or hoist is the key piece of equipment on a rotary rig. The functions of the
drawworks are:
1. It is the control centre from which the driller operates the rig. It contains the
clutches, chains, sprockets, engine throttles and other controls wich enable the rig
pwer to be diverted to the particular operation at hand.
2. It houses the drum which spools the drilling line during hoisting operations and allows
feed-off during drilling.
Drawworks are commonly designated by a horsepower and depth rating.

where W = Hook load, lb

Hook to drawworks efficiencies are commonly between 80 to 90%, depending on the
number of lines in use.

Mud Pumps
the function of the mud pumps is to circulate the drilling fluid at the desired pressure and
volume. The pump normally used is the reciprocating piston, double acting, duplex type.
The term double acting denotes that each side of the piston does work, while duplex
refers to the number of pistons (two).
The superiority of the piston type pump for drilling service is due to the following features:
1. Ability to handle fluids containing high percentages of solids, many of which are
abrasive.
2. Valve clearance will allow passage of large solid particles (typically lost circulation
materials) without damage.
3. Ease and simplicity of operation and maintenance. Liners, pistons and valves may
be replaced in the field by the rig crew.
4. Wide range of volume and pressure available by using different liner and piston
sizes.
Prime Movers
The bulk of rig power is consumed by two operations:
1. Circulation of the drilling fluid
2. Hoisting
Fortunately these requirements do not occur at the same time and the same engine perform
both jobs.
The prime movers used are the steam engines, electric motors and internal combustion
engines. The most commonly used is the internal combustion engines such as the
14

automotive type (multicylinder, light flywheel) diesel and gas engines capable of rapid
acceleration.
The Drill String
The rotary drill string includes the components as in Figure 5.
Fig. 5: Schematic diagram of drill string components and
bit. Bit load is furnished by heavy walled large-diameter
drill collars.
Rotary bits
The bit is the part that drill the hole. Basically there are three types of drill bits, these are the
drag type, rolling cutter type and the diamond bit. The most common is the rolling cutter
type. The diamond bit is commonly used in hard formations.

Drilling line
The rotary drilling line afford a means of handling the load suspended from the hook during
all drilling operations.
The maximum load occurs when running casing, although fishing operations frequently
require line pulls in excess of the drill string weight.
Travelling Block, Hook and Swivel
The travelling block is the travelling pulley assembly that connects the drilling line to the
hook and swivel. The swivel must suspend the drill string and allow rotation at the same
time.
Blowout Preventer (BOP)
The main function of a blowout preventer is to furnish a means of closing off the annular
space between the drill pipe and casing.
It is not always possible to predict the exact manitude of pressures which will be
encountered in the drilling of a well. Consequently it is not uncommon to encounter pressure
greater than those imposed by the drilling fluid, with the result that formation fluids flow into
the bore hole and eventually to the surface.
This effect is called a blowout, and is one of the most feared and expensive accidents which
can occur in well drilling.
Most blowout preventers are either hydraulically or pneumaticaly operated, with manualoperation available as a safetry precaution.
