Application and practice of green exploration technology in drilling projects in the Mufu mountain area of Hunan Province

Abstract:

With the comprehensive implementation of the new round of strategic breakthroughs in mineral exploration， the workload of mineral resource exploration continues to increase， and the contradiction between drilling engineering construction and environmental protection is becoming increasingly prominent. Guided by the concept of green development， it is particularly important to strengthen the application of green exploration technology and methods to reduce environmental damage in current drilling construction. This article introduces a series of green exploration techniques in the Yanzhupo work area of Mufu Mountain， including the use of a portable fully hydraulic drill for construction， the use of small tracked transport vehicles for relocation， the use of iron circulation tanks， geotextiles， and anti-seepage membranes to reduce flushing fluid and oil leakage pollution during site layout， the use of environmentally friendly drilling fluid and flushing fluid centrifuges during drilling， and the treatment of waste liquid， waste materials， and garbage after drilling completion， as well as site restoration. These measures reduce the damage of construction to the environment and provide valuable experience for future green drilling construction， and it is suggested to improve the standards and specifications for green exploration， increase the budget for green construction， explore unmanned aerial vehicle assisted relocation and high adaptability drill bases， and promote the effective implementation of green exploration construction.
