The next issue of the journal "Mining Science and Technology" (Russia)!

We present one of the problematic aspects of the articles in the new issue.

⁉️ How can the technological processes of drilling in hydrocarbon fields be improved?
New solutions to improve the quality of drilling in the Mesopotamian region of Iraq. Wells drilling and completion account for over 40% of all investments in the hydrocarbon energy industry. Reducing failures during the drilling process is one of the key prospects for increasing effective drilling time and addressing challenges faced during drilling and their consequences. The main types of complications in the wells drilling process include sticking of the drill string due to deviation, collapsing of unstable rocks, narrowing of the wellbore from crumbling rocks, absorption of drilling mud, gas-oil-water showings, and brine showings. Research conducted in the Mesopotamian basin of Iraq has revealed that there are technological solutions to improve the efficiency of drilling operations.

You can learn more from the review article, which will be published in the next issue before the end of this year.

This and much more is on the pages of our new issue!

We present the articles of the fourth issue of scientific journal "Mining Science and Technology” (Russia) for 2024:

This article describes the successful drilling of wells X1 and X2 in North Goturdepe, which confirmed the presence of oil and gas reserves and allowed for optimizing the costs of constructing drilling pads. The application of directional drilling in the Caspian Sea accelerates exploration activities, increases the efficiency of hydrocarbon production, and reduces the environmental impact. While this method is becoming an important element of Turkmenistan’s energy strategy, further study of the environmental aspects is required to ensure the sustainable development of the industry.

How to Assess Rock Mass Stability at Deep Mine Levels?

Geomechanical rating classifications are key tools for designing underground mining operations. A new study presents a detailed assessment of rock mass conditions at deep levels of the Udachny mine using RMR and Q systems.

🔹 Key Findings from the Study:
• RMR: Range of 32–62 at Q = 1, median values:
o kimberlites of the Zapadny Ore Body (ZOB) — Class III stability;
o kimberlites of the Vostochny Ore Body (VOB) — Class IV;
o host rocks — Class II (average RMR = 54).
• Q-Index: Logarithmic range of 0.18–105.6, median values:
o VOB — Class D (poor condition);
o ZOB — Class C (fair condition);
o Host rocks — Class B (Q ~ 4–10).
• Rock Strength (UCS):
o kimberlites: 2.15–119.48 MPa (variability due to heterogeneous composition)
o host sediments: 28.14–71.73 MPa (average: 41.05 MPa)
• Jointing:
o host rocks — Class I (monolithic, >2 m spacing);
o ZOB — Class III (0.5–1 m spacing);
o VOB — Class IV (0.1–0.5 m spacing).

🔹 Practical Recommendations:
• for permanent workings: rockbolting (2 m length, 1–4 m spacing) with 5–6 cm shotcrete;
• for excavation junctions: reinforced support (2.5 m rockbolts, 9–12 cm shotcrete);
• moderate correlation between RMR and Q due to differing parameter sensitivities (e.g., RMR ignores rockbursts, Q omits strength).

The study highlights the need for integrated approaches: ratings require continuous updates as mining progresses.
