The Growing Market

While downhole drilling equipment is engineered to withstand extreme conditions, safety remains a paramount concern in the industry. Proper training for personnel operating this equipment is essential to mitigate risks associated with equipment failure and human error. Regular maintenance and inspection of downhole tools are also vital to ensure reliability and operational safety.

Understanding Submarine Hammer Drilling

The DTH hammer operates through a system of compressed air. High-pressure air is directed down the drill string, powering the hammer at the end of the drill bit. The hammer strikes the bit with considerable force, fracturing the rock immediately beneath it. As the bit penetrates further, the broken rock is then cleared from the hole by the same air stream, allowing for continuous drilling without the interruptions often associated with other drilling methods.

2. Positive Displacement Pumps For more viscous slurries or when maintaining a consistent flow despite variations in pressure is essential, positive displacement (PD) pumps are ideal. These pumps work by trapping a fixed amount of slurry and forcing it through the discharge. PD pumps can handle thick and abrasive slurries, making them a preferred choice in mining and mineral processing applications.
