The China Continental Scientific Drilling Project CCSD-1 Well Drilling Engineering and Construction

This book comprehensively introduces the drilling theory and practice behind CCSD-1 well drilling, the first stage of a key national scientific engineering project of China. In addition to access to variety of data and information accumulated decade during the project’s decade-long operation, readers also gain insight into state-of-the-art techniques and most recent achievements in China’s scientific drilling industry. Specifically, this work introduces the drilling engineering design, well site construction, and equipment and construction situation. It also provides a minute description on the new techniques that were developed for tackling the technical difficulties, expounds in detail the core drilling techniques for hard rock deep well, and treats diamond core drill bits, reaming drilling techniques in hard crystalline rocks, well-deviation control techniques for strong dipping strata, and much more. In summary, this book offers a valuable resource for engineers and technicians who engage in scientific drilling and a variety of resource drilling engineering; teachers and students who are interested in this field will also gain plentiful information. Prof. Da Wang, the former deputy director of China Geological Survey, was the director of the Engineering Centre, chief engineer and drill-site general director of China Continental Scientific Drilling Project.

Wang Da, the former deputy director of China Geological Survey, was the director of the Engineering Centre, chief engineer and drill-site general director of China Continental Scientific Drilling Project. Being a senior drilling engineer and a supervisor for Ph D candidate, he was also the vice chairman of the executive council of China Geological Society and the director of Exploration Engineering Professional Commission of China Geological Society. Wang Da has engaged in scientific research on drilling engineering and engineering administration for many years. He organized the drilling engineering construction of China’s first continental scientific deep well – CCSD-1 Well, which was listed as one of the national major scientific projects.
Besides, Mr. Wang was entitled to the vice chairman of the 37th council of Geological Society of China; member of the 38th council of Geological Society of China; chairman of the 7th committee of Mineral Exploration Engineering Committee of GSC; chairman of the 8th committee of Mineral Exploration Engineering Committee of GSC; chairman of the editorial committee of journal:Exploration Engineering; Professor and doctoral advisor of China University of Geosciences (Wuhan).
