Core Drilling System
An integrated drilling solution consisting of drill rods, core barrels, and associated drilling components designed to work together designed to work together for efficient mineral exploration and geotechnical drilling.
What is a Core Drilling System?
A core drilling system is a coordinated assembly of drilling components used to recover continuous core samples from the ground. Each component performs a specific function, and correct compatibility between components is essential for drilling efficiency, safety, and reliable core recovery.
Core Drilling Process Flow
Drilling rig provides rotation and feed force
Drill rods transmit torque to the downhole assembly
Core barrel cuts and retains the core sample
Head assembly connects rods to the core barrel
Overshot retrieves the inner tube during wireline drilling
Couplings ensure secure and compatible connections
System Components
Precision-engineered components designed to work seamlessly together
Drill Rods
Transmit torque and feed force from the drilling rig to the downhole assembly
Core Barrels
Cut and retain continuous core samples during drilling operations
Head Assembly
Connects drill rods to the core barrel and enables wireline operations
Overshot
Retrieves the inner tube assembly during wireline core drilling
Locking Coupling
Secures internal drilling assemblies and prevents disengagement
Adapter Coupling
Provides compatibility between different component sizes or standards
