Abstract

Das Verfahren zum Erstellen eines am Umfang ausgesteiften, überwiegend horizontal ausgerichteten Bohrlochs in Boden­ formationen, bei dem das Bohrloch mittels eines Richtbohr­ werkzeugs vorgetrieben und diesem ein Mantelrohr nachgeführt wird, sieht vor, daß das Mantelrohr gleichzeitigund gleich­ förmig mit dem Richtbohrwerkzeug vorgetrieben und dabei das vordere Ende des Mantelrohrs durch den vorderen Teil des Richtbohrwerkzeugs ausgerichtet wird. Das für seine Durchführung vorgesehene Bohrgerät umfaßt ein Richtbohrwerk­ zeug (1), das an einen obertägig durch Antriebs- und Vor­ schubmittel vortreibbaren, in Eigendrehung versetzbaren und in ausgerichteter Stellung verdrehfest abstützbaren Bohrrohrstrang (11) anschließbar ist und einen in einem rohrförmigen Außengehäuse angeordneten Tieflochmotor (3) für den Antrieb eines Drehbohrmeißels (14) aufweist, und ein durch obertägige Antriebs- und Vorschubmittel dem Richt­ bohrwerkzeug nachführbares Mantelrohr (9). Dabei erteilen die Antriebs- und Vorschubmittel dem Richtbohrwerkzeug (1) und dem Mantelrohr (9) eine synchrone Vorschubbewegung, und das Richtbohrwerkzeug (1) ist im Mantelrohr (9) ange­ ordnet und abgestützt und richtet mit seinem vorderen Teil das vordere Ende (12) des Mantelrohrs (9) aus. The method for creating a stiffened circumferentially, predominantly horizontally oriented borehole in ground formations, in which the borehole is driven by means of a directional drilling tool and this is followed by a jacket pipe, provides that the jacket pipe is simultaneously and uniformly driven with the directional drilling tool and the front one End of the casing tube is aligned by the front part of the directional drilling tool. The drilling device provided for its implementation comprises a directional boring tool (1) which can be connected to a drill pipe string (11) which can be driven above ground by drive and pushing means, can be set in its own rotation and can be supported in a non-rotatable manner in the aligned position, and a deep hole motor arranged in a tubular outer housing ( 3) for driving a rotary drill bit (14), and a casing pipe (9) which can be adjusted by the above-ground drive and feed means. The drive and feed means give the directional drilling tool (1) and the casing tube (9) a synchronous feed movement, and the directional drilling tool (1) is arranged and supported in the casing tube (9) and aligns with its front part the front end (12) the casing tube (9).
