Altitude directional drilling4/30/2023 Other relevant topic suggestions are welcome. New challenges Future development of ice drilling technology Logistics Drill camp operations and future projects Ice core handling Logging and handling ice coresīorehole logging For drill support and science Special aspects Ice drilling technology include drilling fluids, control systems, surface and auxiliary equipment and drill cables and hosesĭirectional drilling There is a need for replicate sampling in many ice drill projects If you had to put in a 12 pipe through clay you might be looking at 80-100/meter. Probes Use of ice drills in extraterrestrial investigationsĬomplicated conditions Conditions like high altitude drilling, warm ice, firn aquifer layers, brittle ice, ice streams complicate ice drilling To give you a rough idea of HDD (horizontal directional drilling) pricing (in Canadian dollars): to directional drill a 2 pipe a distance of 300’ in standard soil would typically cost between 20 and 30 per meter. Sampling and clean technologies Methods for exploration of subglacial environment Rapid access ice drilling Development of technologies for rapid access drilling Thermal ice drilling Hot points techniques and coring abilities Hot water drilling Development within shallow, intermediate, deep systems Ice drilling Development within shallow, intermediate, deep drills Please note that all attendees are invited for the opening reception In addition, the symposium will include the ice drill related themes like ice core handling, borehole logging and ice camp logistics. This symposium presents a timely opportunity to show recent advances in our knowledge and technological capabilities in ice drilling technology. New techniques are rapidly evolving within ice drills and include rapid access drills, replicate drilling and thermal and hot water drilling. The ice related research especially related to understand the past and present climate will improve our ability to predict the impacts under future climate changes. Ice drills are crucial to access ice for climate research and other studies of the water and basal conditions under glaciers, ice caps and ice sheets.
