Thegravel pack is usually granular material, having specifiedgrain-size characteristics, that

However,some in-situ testing devices (such as electronic pressuretransducers, gas-lift s

Significance and Use4.1 Cable-tool rigs (also referred to as churn rigs, water-welldrilling rig

33、s, spudders, or percussion rigs) are used in the oilfields and in the water-well industry. The Chinese developedthe percussion method some 4000 years ago.4.2 Cable-tool drilling and sampling methods may be usedin support of geoenvironmental exploration and for installationof subsurface water-quality

34、 monitoring devices in both uncon-solidated and consolidated materials. Cable-tool drilling andsampling may be selected over other methods based on itsadvantages, some of which are its high mobility, low water use,low operating cost, and low maintenance. Cable-tool drilling isthe most widely availab

35、le casing-advancement method that isrestricted to the drilling of unconsolidated materials and softerrocks.4.2.1 The application of cable-tool drilling and sampling togeoenvironmental exploration may involve sampling uncon-solidated materials. Depth of drill holes may exceed 3000 ft(914 m) and may b

36、e limited by the length of cable attached tothe bull reel. However, most drill holes for geoenvironmentalexploration rarely are required to go that deep. Rates forcable-tool drilling and sampling can vary from a general3The boldface numbers given in parentheses refer to a list of references at theen

(2.4 m) diameter casing to considerably less thanthat depending on the type(s) of material drilled, and the typeand condition of the equipment and rig used.NOTE 2As a general rule, cable-tool rig

38、s are used to sample thesurficial materials, and to set surface casing in order that rotary-core rigssubsequently may be set up on the drill hole to core drill hard rock ifcoring is required.4.2.2 The cable-tool rig may be used to facilitate theinstallation of a subsurface water-quality monitoring d

The monitoring device(s) maybe installed through the casing as the casing is removed fromFIG. 1 Diagram of a Cable Tool Drilling SystemD 5875 95 (2006)3the borehole. The sand line can be used to raise, lower, or setin-situ testing device(s), or all of these

40、. If necessary, the casingmay also be left in the borehole as part of the device.NOTE 3The user may install a monitoring device within the sameborehole wherein sampling, in-situ, or pore-fluid testing, or coring wasperformed.5. Apparatus5.1 Cable-tool rigs have a string of drill tools with a drivecl

41、amp (see Fig. 1 (6) on the drill string connected by wire ropethat periodically can be hoisted and allowed to “fall” forpercussion drilling in unconsolidated and consolidated materi-als and for driving/retrieving casing. The full string of drillingequipment consists of drill bit (see Fig. 1 (2)bit u

42、sed forall-around general drilling and, (3)bit used for chopping andbreaking hard materials and rock), drilling jars (optional), anda drill stem (see Fig. 1 (1), with a swivel socket (see Fig. 2)connected by a wire rope fastened to a drum called a bull reelthat raises and lowers the drilling tools a

43、nd permits percussiondrilling either by crushing the material or by drive sampling.The spudding beam, commonly referred to as the walkingbeam, that is driven by the pitman and crank, imparts areciprocating motion to the drilling line (see Fig. 3 (6).NOTE 4All cable-tool rigs have the capacity to lif

44、t and drop heavydrive clamps for installing large-diameter casing in unconsolidated mate-rials.5.2 Water-well drilling rigs have been converted (for thepurpose of geoenvironmental-engineering explorations) byreplacing the jars and stem, and replacing the chopping bit (seeFig. 1 (3) with a drive barr

45、el, (see Fig. 4) that is used forsampling purposes. If the bit becomes stuck in the borehole itcan normally be freed by upward blows of the drilling jars (jarscan also be used in the same mode to extract casing). Theprimary function of the drilling jars is to transmit the energyfrom the bull wheel t

46、o the drill stem and the sample barrel. Thestroke of the drilling jars is 9 to 18 in. (0.23 to 0.46 m) andFIG. 2 A Full String of Cable Tools Consists of Five Components That are Necessary for DrillingD 5875 95 (2006)4distinguishes them from fishing jars that have a stroke 18 to 36in. (0.46 to 0.91

47、m). Jars are often not used when hard-rockdrilling (6, 7).5.3 The swivel socket connects the drill string to the cableand, in addition, the weight of the socket supplies part of theweight of the drill tools. The socket also imparts part of theupward energy to the jars when their use becomes necessar

48、y.The socket transmits the rotation of the cable to the tool stringand bit (drive barrel) so that the drive is completed on thedownstroke, thereby assuring that a round, straight hole willresult. The elements of the tool string are coupled together withright-hand threaded tool joints of standard API

49、 (AmericanPetroleum Institute) design and dimension (7).5.4 The wire cable that carries and rotates the drilling tool iscalled the drill line. It is a58-in. (16-mm) to 1-in. (25-mm)left-hand lay cable that twists the tool joint on each upwardstroke to prevent it from unscrewing. The drill line is reevedover a crown sheave at the top of the mast, down to thespudding sheave on the walking beam, to the heel sheave, andthen to the working-line side of the bull-reel (see Fig. 3). Thestroke of the cable-tool rig should be controlled and sufficient
