Drill 10 Feet Deeper

As you probably already know, the problem with trying to drill deeper is friction.  If you have tried to drill a well using two hoses, you know that it goes great at first and then gets harder and harder as you get deeper.  The sides of the hole tend to collapse around the drillpipe, particularly as you get to the 20 foot depth and beyond.  Many times it feels like you could drill quite a bit deeper but then when you add a piece of pipe it is suddenly much harder.  The sand in the hole collapsing on the drillpipe causes this.

 

What if you could hold that sand away from at least the top part of your drillpipe?  What if you could eliminate friction altogether for the first 10 feet?  That is what this technique does.  It gives you a "head start" on drilling your well.

 

 

 

Although this technique is primarily aimed at the two hose drillers, it applies to mud pump drillers too.  Commercial drillers frequently case the first few hundred feet of very deep wells to keep their well shafts from collapsing.  It simplifies later drilling as well as the installation of both above ground pumps and submersible pumps.
