| This is a method of wire-line core drilling in planned directions with very high accuracy.
Drill head for the directional core drilling
is attached to conventional wire-line drilling equipments. |

| Characteristics
of this method |
・Ease of operation
Conventional wire-line method and conventional equipment are used without
modification.
Fixing the direction of drilling can be done easily by electronic multishot
survey devices.
・Continuous coring
Continuous coring is possible for both conventional wireline drilling and
directional drilling.
・High drilling efficiency
Directional drilling head is equipped with wire-line function, and directional
drilling is done with high efficiency.
・Effective for diverse geologic conditions
Directional core drilling can be carried out in various types of geologic
conditions soft rocks such as mudstone and sandstone, and in hard rocks
such as granitic and metamorphic rocks by exchanging the bits.
・Low cost
The cost for directional drilling is not very different from normal
wire-line drilling.. |
