Cross zones of high pressure and high flow groundwater during drilling operations and still obtain good core recovery with Fordia’s AquaGuard.
When drilling operations have stopped or slowed down because of a high-pressure water inflow zone or other large amounts of water, the AquaGuard is inserted into the core barrel to allow drilling activity to resume. The product’s valve, similar to a check valve, partially limits water from the pressurized in-flow zone, making drilling operations more efficient.

In few of our blogs, we’ve been looking at core barrels. A wire line core barrel typically consists of a double tube system that includes an inner tube and outer tube. We’ve looked at the parts that make up the inner tube assembly and the head assembly. In this blog, we will look at the parts of the outer tube and the role of each piece of equipment.

Directional drilling technology has certainly come a long way in the mineral exploration world, with Gyro-guided tooling and the ability to core while steering the borehole. There have never been so many options and methods of steering a hole.

In an earlier blog, we looked at the core barrel assembly, this being the equipment that is used to recover core, and plays a very important role in the diamond drilling operation. The success of an operation depends on retrieving core efficiently and effectively. We looked at the parts of the inner tube of which the head assembly is a part. It is a complex part so it is well worth looking at it in detail.
