- the pipe string and an outer pipe from the surface and surrounds t pipe or pipe string extends o inner pipe or pipe string an the outer pipe pipe.
- the invention relates to a rotary drilling apparatus for continuously coring according to the so-called counterflush system, in which cores of the drilled formation are continuously carried to the surface by means of a flushing fluid, said device comprising: an inner pipe adapted to be rotated by driving means and provided near its bottom end with a cutting member, openings extending through the wall of the inner pipe near this cutting member, said pipe being connected at its top end with a stationary discharge tube for flushing fluid carrying the cores; one or more extension pipes adapted to be coupled to said inner pipe for forming a pipe string; and an outer pipe or pipestring extending from the surface and surrounding said inner pipe or one or more extending pipes with clearance, said outer pipe communicating with a supply of flushing fluid.
- the flushing fluid is pumped downwardly through the annular space formed in the upper portion between the outer pipe and the inner pipe and further downwardly between the wall of the borehole and the inner pipe,after which the flushing fluid flows through the openings in the wall of the inner pipe into said pipe, and through said inner pipe upwardly while entraining the drilled cores, so that said cores can subsequently be collected at the surface.
- the outer pipe of the apparatus had to be cemented in the ground in order to prevent the outer pipe from being pushed out of the borehole due to the pressure of the flushing fluid, and also to avoid direct escape of the flushing fluid between the outer wall of the outer pipe and the wall of the borehole towards the surface, since the upper formations often consist of unconsolidated material. Therefore, the length of the outer pipe is determined by the depth at which the first solid formations occur, at which formations the risk of a direct escape of flushing fluid past the wall of the borehole is eliminated.
- the prior art apparatus is satisfactory for continuous coring drilling operations on the mainland, but it is not suitable for offshore drilling operations, because then cementing the outer pipe, e.g., in the bottom of the sea gives rise to insuperable difficulties.
- an object of the invention is to provide a drilling apparatus of the kind referred to which is also suitable for continuous coring drilling operations at offshore locations.
- the outer pipe or pipe string extends over the full length of the inner pipe or inner pipe string and is drivingly connected with the driving means, the inner pipe being connected with the outer pipe, so that the inner pipe is rotated with the latter upon rotation thereof, a seal being provided between the two pipes near the lower end below the openings in the inner pipe.
- a flushing fluid of low viscosity e.g., water
- a flushing fluid of low viscosity e.g., water
- two sets of spray openings are provided, the openings of one set being inclined downwardly and those of the other set being inclined upwardly.

- outer pipe 13 is rotated by the worm gear 3, said outer pipe 13 carrying the inner pipe 14 therewith, so that both pipes will be rotated.
- the flushing fluid is pumped through connecting piece 6 into the annular space between the outer pipe 13 and the inner pipe 14.
- the fluid then flows through the spray openings 15 and 16 into the inner pipe 14 and through this pipe upwardly and leaves the drilling apparatus through connecting piece 8.
- the cores drilled by the cutting member 18 are carried by the upwardly flowing flushing fluid, and can be collected after the flushing fluid is discharged through the length of tube 9.
- FIG. 2 shows in more detail the connection between the inner connecting pipe 12 and the inner pipe 14 or the connection between the inner pipe 14 and an extension inner pipe or the connection between two extension inner pipes.
- a sleeve 22 is provided around the upper end of the inner pipe 14, said sleeve extending beyond the terminal end of said pipe 14, so that the lower end of the inner pipe 12 can be inserted in the protruding part of sleeve 22 until the lower end of the pipe 12 abuts the upper end of the pipe 14.
- a ringshaped member 23 is received by sleeve 22, said ring 23 consisting of two segments, which are retained against each other by means of a resilient band 24 disposed in a recess formed in the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 22.
- a number of spaced recesses 25 are formed in the inner peripheral surface of the ring 23 so that after mounting the ring around the sleeve 22, there are continuous apertures in the ring.
