Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de forage pour creuser un trou dans une formation géologique, ce système comprenant un train de tiges à axe central longitudinal (24) et trépan (30) dont le fond comporte une pluralité de lames (34) disposées de manière à ce que le fond a une enveloppe de profil gradué dans le sens radial. Un premier dispositif d'entraînement fait tourner le trépan dans le trou de forage de sorte que les lames effectuent un mouvement de raclage sur le fond du trou (15) et un deuxième dispositif d'entraînement applique au trépan un mouvement longitudinal alterné dans le trou de forage de sorte que les lames exercent sur le fond du trou une force de percussion.
