Abstract:Drilling deep hole of slim diameter is the main method in geological and mineral exploration, but pump suffocation is often encountered in engineering practice. It is a technical difficulty to improve the ability of reducing circulation resistance by scientifically calculation. By the establishment of hydrodynamic model, calculation formulas of circulation resistance in annulus and drill strings were theoretically derived. With the engineering practice, the paper analyzed and put forward the technical measures of improving the ability of circulation resistance reduction.
