Casing Advancement Systems (Overburden Drilling)
The casing advancement system operates by advancing the casing simultaneously with the drill bit during drilling, or by first driving or rotating the casing ahead of the bit before continuing drilling inside the casing. This method stabilizes the borehole and prevents collapse, sand inflow, or obstruction during drilling. It is particularly effective in loose formations, sand and gravel layers, and fractured or unstable ground conditions.
Our company currently offers two main series, which are eccentric casing systems and concentric casing systems.
-
- Casing OD: 89-377mm
- Casing min. ID: 77-347mm
- Reaming diameter: 98-400mm
- Casing shoe min. ID: 71-326mm
Eccentric Casing SystemEccentric casing systems are specialized drilling tools used in complex ground conditions such as gravel layers, colluvial deposits, and running sand formations.
-
- Casing OD: 114-508mm
- Casing min. ID: 101-476mm
- Max. wall thickness: 7-16mm
- Reaming diameter: 120-520mm
Concentric Casing SystemDTH drilling tools used together with concentric casing systems enable an integrated drilling mode in which drilling and casing advancement occur simultaneously.
