AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, the integration of directional drilling technology and wireline coring technology is weak, which limits the application of directional drilling in geological core exploration. Furthermore, bottom hole power tools have high requirements for mud pumps and surface manifolds, making it difficult to achieve directional drilling driven by surface drilling rigs.
