关于金刚石钻探的5个误解

    不管金刚石钻探行业还是在其他行业工作，我们都面临着一些关于工作的误解。对我来说，当人们问我做什么时，我说我是一个金刚石钻探工时，总是有错误的假设和一些混淆。这也许是因为钻探不是一个知名的行业，但我发现自己经常重复纠正人们的误解。看看本文中关于金刚石钻探的最常见的误解也很有趣。

    误解1：我们在钻探钻石

    这是我能理解的最常见的误读。“金刚石钻探”这个词在某种程度上具有误导性，让人们觉得我们是在钻探钻石（金刚石），而不是钻具是由金刚石制成的。如果我能给每个假定我是钻探钻石的人一块钱，那我就是个有钱人了。

    误解2：钻探是一项简单的工作

    我不知道为什么会有人认为用每根重达52磅（约23.6公斤）的钻杆去钻进非常容易。大部分钻探设备是用钢制成的，重量很大。岩心也很重。你需要携带的东西，例如一桶桶的油脂和添加剂，它们都很重。计算一下，如果你能在一次移动中拉动几百根杆，那你要处理很大的重量。

    误解3：钻探是一项相当安全的工作

    告诉那个外行，有人因为机器的运动部件或打仰孔时设备部件掉落而致残。在金刚石钻探中，你需要小心和警惕你周围可能存在的危险。

    误解4：任何人都可以胜任金刚石钻探工

    你相信钻探是体力劳动。因为它是体力劳动，所以不需要什么脑力。然而，为了在这个行业中持续下去，你需要倾向于技术，以便于理解机械和零件如何协同工作。钻机、内管总成等都有很多活动的零件。知道每个部分做什么，以及如何适应整体是必需的。

    误解5：钻探是一个蓝领工作，你赚不了多少钱

    刚开始的时候，也许你赚不了多少钱，但是钻工把岩石放进岩心箱里就能赚钱。一旦你学会了诀窍，从帮手变成了钻探高手，你就可以过上舒适的生活。但是，要做到这一点，您需要理解钻机的机械原理（参见上面一条），并且能够修复可能减缓施工的问题。您需要对能够帮助您提高性能的新工艺和新产品保持开放态度。

    5 Myths about Diamond Drilling

    Whether you work in diamond drilling or another industry, we all face some misconceptions about our jobs. For me, it appears that when people ask what I do and I tell them I’m a diamond driller, there are always false assumptions and some confusion. Maybe it’s because it is not a well-known industry in general but I find myself repeating the same corrections. In this blog, I thought it would be interesting to look at the most common myths about diamond drilling.
    Myth #1: We are drilling for diamonds
    This one is the most common myth and I can understand why. The term “diamond drilling” is misleading in a way, making people believe that we are drilling for diamonds and not that the drilling tools are made of diamonds. If I had a dollar for every person who assumed I was drilling for diamonds, I’d be a rich man.
    Myth #2: Diamond drilling is an easy job
    I’m not sure why anyone would think that drilling with rods that weigh 52 lbs could ever be easy. Much of the equipment is made with steel and weighs a lot, core weighs a lot, everything you need to carry like buckets of grease and additives, they weigh a lot. If you calculate that you can pull hundreds of rods in a shift, then that is a lot of weight you are dealing with.
    Myth #3: Diamond drilling is a pretty safe job
    Tell that to the guy that loses a body part due to the moving parts of machinery, or parts of equipment that can come crashing down out of an uphole. In diamond drilling, you need to be careful and alert to the possible dangers that are around you.
    Myth #4: Anyone can be a diamond driller
    You get this belief with a lot of what are considered physical jobs. Because they are physical they must not require a lot of brain power. However, to last in this industry you need to be technically inclined in order to understand machinery and how parts work together. There a lot of moving pieces to a drill rig, a head assembly    etc. Knowing what each part does and how it fits into the big picture is required.
    Myth #5: Diamond drilling is a blue collar job so you can’t make that much money
    When you start off, maybe you can’t make a ton of money, but a driller makes money when he is putting rock in the box. Once you learn the ropes, and move from being a helper to a driller, you can make a comfortable living. To do that though, you need to understand the mechanics of a drill rig (see the myth above) and be able to fix issues that could slow down production. You need to be open to new procedures, processes and products that can help you improve your performance.
