When to Use Concentric Drilling System？
Understanding Concentric Drilling: When to Utilize This Technique
Concentric drilling and eccentric drilling represent two distinct drilling methodologies. Their primary difference lies in how the drill bits and casings are aligned in relation to each other:

Concentric Drilling Explained
In concentric drilling, both the drill bit and casing share the same central axis, ensuring they are perfectly aligned. The drill bit is confined within the casing, rotating concentrically, which facilitates precise drilling directly through the center of the casing. This method ensures a consistently-sized borehole.
Common applications for concentric drilling include water well projects, geotechnical studies, and mineral exploration ventures.
Eccentric Drilling Demystified
Contrastingly, eccentric drilling positions the drill bit away from the casing center. This offset design enables the formation of a borehole with a diameter larger than that of the casing itself. Eccentric drilling is particularly beneficial for tasks requiring borehole enlargement or casing advancement, such as overburden drilling or specific well construction techniques.
This technique also involves specialized eccentric drill bits designed with unique cutting structures for tailored drilling objectives.
Ultimately, the differentiation hinges on the alignment of the drill bit and casing. Concentric maintains central alignment, whereas eccentric introduces an offset, influencing the overall drilling outcome.
Utilizing the Concentric Overburden Casing Drilling System
Overview
When drilling in unstable soil formations, the risk of borehole collapse is a significant concern. The casing drilling method effectively integrates the drilling and casing processes, enhancing stability. Utilizing a DTH hammer, the system features a pilot bit that engages a ring bit to create a borehole adequately sized for the casing to descend and stabilize the drilling area immediately.
For further details, explore the Concentric Drilling System.
The overburden casing drilling system can be categorized into concentric, eccentric, and slide block casing systems.
Also known as the symmetric overburden casing system, the concentric casing system can create boreholes at any angle, including horizontal, with depths reaching up to 100 meters. Its design incorporates a central pilot bit, a ring bit (reamer), and a casing shoe.
The central pilot bit is linked to the DTH hammer while the casing shoe is affixed to the casing tube. Fueled by the DTH hammer, the pilot bit propels the ring bit to drill an adequately-sized borehole while the casing slides down to provide immediate stabilization. Upon reaching the predetermined depth, the pilot bit is unlocked through reverse rotation of the drilling string, allowing for its extraction through the casing tube. The ring bits and casings can remain in position for permanent casing solutions or be retrieved as needed.
Benefits of Concentric Drilling
Enables fast, direct drilling even in challenging gravel, sand, or pebble formations;
Minimizes rig torque demands, as smaller torque rigs can effectively create large boreholes;
The uncomplicated structure facilitates easy unlocking and relocking of the concentric casing system;
Capable of drilling straight boreholes at any angle;
Simple to operate, making it a cost-effective solution
Casing Tube Availability
We offer a diverse range of casing tube diameters, from 108mm to 377mm suitable for both concentric and eccentric casing systems.
