Abstract

The concept of conventional drilling with a pipe string is frequently used in mineral exploration, where boreholes may be from dozens to a few thousand meters in depth. The scheme is simple. The bit is attached to a rod that is rotated from the surface using a drilling pipe string with the help of a machine-driven rotary rig. In order to remove cuttings, liquid, or air circulation is used for cleaning the hole and cooling the bit. In addition, flight augers could be used for lifting cuttings up the borehole.
