    Abstract: A long-distance core drilling method suitable for a horizontal geological core drilling rig. (1) An active drill rod is connected to a drill rod, which is connected to a wireline-coring outer-tube drilling tool. (2) A steel-pipe string is connected to a fishing device, and the fishing device is connected to a spearhead on a core tube, which is placed to a designated position through a pipe-feeding mechanism. (3) A washing pump is started. (4) A core drilling is carried out. (5) A core is pulled out. (6) The steel-pipe string and the fishing device are reconnected. (7) The core tube is salvaged. (8) The core tube and drill pipe are replaced. (9) A hole is swept. (10) Steps (1)-(9) are repeated until the hole is drilled to a designated depth. (11) The core tube and the wireline-coring outer-tube drilling tool are recovered.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a sediment core-drilling process for a submarine wire-line coring drill rig, including 1) lowering the drill rig; 2) drilling in a pressure-suction mode; 3) drilling in a rotation-pressure-suction mode; 4) cutting sediment cores; 5) recovering a core inner tube; 6) cleaning bottom of hole; 7) punching before adding a drill pipe; 8) lowering another core inner tube; 9) adding the drill pipe; 10) punching after adding the drill pipe; 11) repeating the steps 2)-10) until a given hole depth is reached; 12) recovering the drill pipe and a wire-line coring outer tube drilling tool; 13) recovering the submarine wire-line coring drill rig. The core-drilling process provided herein is suited to working conditions without mud lubrication and mud protection for hole wall. This invention has advantages of low disturbance and high efficiency in coring and is suitable for remote operation.

    Abstract: A horizontal drilling machine with an in-situ detection device, including a support frame, an armored cable, a steel pipe-straightening mechanism, a steel pipe-feeding mechanism, a motor, a power head, a drill pipe, a rotating chuck, a damper, a non-core drilling tool, the in-situ detection device, a fishing device and a thrust cylinder. The steel pipe-straightening mechanism, the steel pipe-feeding mechanism, the rotating chuck and the damper are sequentially fixed on the support frame from left to right. One end of the thrust cylinder is hinged with the support frame, and the other end is connected to the power head. The active drill pipe of the power head is connected to the drill pipe. An end of the armored cable is connected to the fishing device in the drill pipe, and the fishing head of the fishing device is connected to the spearhead of the non-core drilling tool.

    Abstract: A horizontal drilling machine with an impact device, including a support frame, an armored cable, a cable-straightening mechanism, a cable-feeding mechanism, a power head, a drill pipe, a rotating chuck, a damper, a fishing device with the impact device, a core tube and a thrust cylinder. One end of the thrust cylinder is hinged with the support frame, and the other end of the thrust cylinder is connected to the power head. The power head is arranged on a slid rail of the support frame. An active drill pipe of the power head is connected to the drill pipe. An end of the armored cable is connected to a control system, and the other end is connected to the fishing device in the drill pipe. A fishing head of the fishing device is connected to a spearhead of the core tube.

    Abstract: A process for drilling natural gas hydrates. A drilling rig is placed in seawater. A suction-press core drilling mode is adopted in a soft sediment formation, a suction-rotary core drilling mode is adopted in a medium-hard sediment formation, or a pumping direction circle-rotary core drilling mode is adopted in a hard sediment formation. A core is extracted. An inner tube for wireline pressure coring is recovered. A holding seal cap is tightened, and the inner tube is stored in a pipe storage rack. Punching is carried out. An inner tube for wireline pressure coring which is hollow is captured to disengage the holding seal cap. The inner tube is lowered. A drill rod is added. The punching is carried out again. The above steps are repeated until the core drilling reaches a given drilling depth. The drill rod, the drill and the corer are recovered.
