Wireline Coring Technology
How Wireline Coring Works
The wireline coring system uses an inner tube assembly that is lowered into the drill string on a cable (wireline) to retrieve the core without removing the entire drill string. This significantly reduces trip time and increases drilling efficiency.
Key Advantages
- High Core Recovery: Core recovery rate up to 98%
- Time Efficiency: Core retrieval in minutes vs. hours
- Core Protection: Minimal disturbance to core samples
- Deep Hole Capability: Ideal for holes deeper than 300m
- Geological Accuracy: Precise depth control and sample integrity
Core Bit Types
- Impregnated Diamond Bits - For hard formations
- Surface Set Diamond Bits - For medium-hard formations
- PCD Bits - For abrasive formations
- Carbide Bits - For soft to medium formations
Applications
Mineral Exploration
Ideal for gold, copper, iron ore, and other mineral deposit exploration. Provides high-quality core samples for geological analysis and resource estimation.
Geological Survey
Suitable for regional geological mapping, structural analysis, and hydrogeological investigations.
Scientific Drilling
Used for scientific research drilling, geothermal exploration, and environmental monitoring wells.
Infrastructure Investigation
Applied in foundation investigation for bridges, dams, tunnels, and large-scale construction projects.
Geological Suitability
The HXY series core drilling rigs are suitable for various geological formations:
- Crystalline basement rocks (granite, gneiss, schist)
- Metamorphic formations
- Volcanic and igneous rocks
- Sedimentary rock sequences
- Weathered zones and regolith
- Mineralized zones with quartz veins
For complex geological conditions such as fractured zones, aquifer intersections, or highly weathered strata, customized drilling solutions and specialized coring techniques are available.
