Abstract

Reasonable selection of process parameters in drilling and coring is of great significance for reducing coring time and working costs. To reduce exploration costs and improve rock breaking efficiency, vertical shaft drilling rigs are used to study the influence of drilling rig working parameters, environmental parameters, and bit types on rock breaking efficiency. The rate of penetration (ROP) is used as the evaluation index of rock breaking efficiency. The sensitivity of drilling efficiency to drilling process parameters is analyzed through orthogonal experiments. The results show that the best combination of parameters in the test range is rotation speed 369 rpm, water flow rate 5L/min, and drill bit type is polycrystalline diamond composite (PDC) bit. The bit type has a significant impact on the drilling efficiency, the sensitivity to this parameter was high, and the weight value of the bit type is 61.36%. In contrast, the influence of rotation speed and water flow rate on the ROP is general, the sensitivity of these two parameters is low, and the weight values are 28.03 and 10.61%, respectively. The research results of this paper provide certain theoretical guidance for the reasonable selection of process parameters of drilling and coring.
