Precautions for the operation of directional drilling rigs

1. Before construction
Training and qualifications: Operators must undergo professional training, obtain the corresponding operating qualification certificates, and be familiar with the structure, performance, operating methods and safety regulations of directional drilling rigs.
Site survey: Conduct a comprehensive survey of the construction site to understand the topography, geological conditions, underground pipeline distribution, etc., so as to formulate a reasonable construction plan and determine the drilling route.
Equipment inspection: Carefully check the various components of the directional drilling rig, including the power system, drill rod, drill bit, guide system, hydraulic system, etc., to ensure that the equipment is in good operating condition. Check whether the lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, etc. of the equipment are sufficient, and whether the connection parts are tight.
Safety protection: Equip with necessary safety protection equipment, such as safety helmets, safety shoes, protective gloves, etc., and ensure that the operators wear them correctly. Set up obvious safety warning signs, demarcate the construction area, and prevent unauthorized personnel from entering.
2. During construction
Operation specifications: Operate strictly in accordance with the operating procedures, and do not change the operating procedures without authorization. Before starting the directional drilling rig, ensure that each operating handle is in the correct position and each instrument displays normally.
Drilling process control: Pay close attention to various parameters during the drilling process, such as drilling speed, torque, thrust, pressure, etc., and adjust them in time according to geological conditions and construction requirements. Pay attention to the vibration of the drill rod and the deviation of the drilling direction. If there is any abnormality, stop the machine immediately for inspection.
Guide system monitoring: Always monitor the working status of the guide system to ensure the accuracy of the drilling direction. According to the information provided by the guide system, adjust the drilling angle and depth in time to avoid deviation from the design trajectory.
Communication: Maintain good communication between construction personnel to ensure timely and accurate information transmission. During the drilling process, the operator should work closely with the ground monitoring personnel to complete the construction tasks together.
Emergency handling: Develop an emergency plan to respond quickly and take effective emergency measures to possible emergencies, such as equipment failures and geological disasters. During the construction process, if an emergency occurs, the machine should be shut down immediately and handled in accordance with the emergency plan.
3. After construction
Equipment maintenance: After the construction is completed, the directional drilling rig should be cleaned and maintained in time. Clean the dirt and debris on the surface of the equipment, check the wear of each component, and replace damaged parts in time. Lubricate and rust-proof the equipment to ensure the service life of the equipment.
Site cleaning: Clean the construction site and restore the ground to its original state. Properly dispose of waste and garbage generated by the construction and do not discard them at will.
