  BOREHOLE DRILLING OPERATIONS Theprocesses of pre-drilling operation include: Preliminary oral investigation: To get information about the geology of the area Inspection of the site: To study relief and vegetation Geophysical survey: To study the character of the formation. Site preparation: To mobilize equipment, clearing and construction of pits and channel
• 6.
  GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY TECHNIQUES MethodUsed: Electrical resistivity method Equipment: Terrameter, electrodes, and cable reels. Purpose: Map subsurface geology and locate aquifers
• 7.
  BOREHOLE DRILLING TECHNIQUES Mud rotary drilling  Fluid is pumped down the drill pipe and out of jets in the drill bit.  The fluid carries cuttings to the surface, where it is recycled.  Suitable for unconsolidated rock formations.  Air Rotary Drilling:  Drill bit rapidly rotates to cut through rock formations.  Air is used as the circulating medium to cool the drill bit and carry cuttings to the surface.  Best for consolidated rock formations. Steps: Geophysical survey → Drilling → Casing → Gravel packing → Pump testing.
