Abstract:
Summary Geoscience Australia has undertaken a number of regional drilling projects in collaboration with state and territory geological surveys. To reduce uncertainty associated with intersecting the targeted stratigraphy, we have actively used a range of geophysical methods to estimate cover thickness to identify prospective sites for drilling.Keywords:

The drill hole for the Cajon Pass Scientific Drilling Project was designed uniquely to accomplish specific science experiments. Special consideration was given to drilling practices for hole size, spot coring, deviation from the vertical, chemical and physical properties of the drilling fluids and pipe lubricants, monitoring mud logging and drilling parameters, and procedures for handling of cores and cuttings samples. Phase I of drilling reached a depth of 2115 m.

This paper introduces the operation of China′s first deep hole, hard rock continuous coring project, CCSD-1 drilling project, concerning the drilling technical design, hole structure and casing program , as well as the techniques used in core drilling, hole reaming and directional drilling. In addition, the drilling process of CCSD-1 and the technical problems encountered in drilling and the measures adopted to solve the problems are described, and the main technical and economic indices are presented. Many special and new drilling technologies have been used in the drilling operation of CCSD-1, and high-efficiency, good-quality and low-cost drilling results have been achieved.
