钻探技术在我国有悠久的历史。早在秦代就有钻凿盐井、汲取卤水、熬煮成盐以供民食的记载。到了唐代,四川一地就有盐井六百多口。明清时期更是得到了极大的发展,当时多采用简便易行的冲击钻进方法。而近代岩心钻探则是由欧美传入的,就中国没有自己的钻机制造业。新中国成立后,随着国民经济和地质工作的发展,我国的钻探技术得到了迅速发展,并形成了以探矿工程为行业及其专业技术学科。 Drilling technology in our country has a long history. As early as in the Qin Dynasty have drilling salt wells, draw brine, boiled into salt for the records of the people. In the Tang Dynasty, there were more than 600 salt wells in Sichuan. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, great progress was made. At that time, more and more simple methods of impact drilling were used. The modern core drilling is imported from Europe and the United States, China does not have its own drilling rig manufacturing. After the founding of new China, with the development of national economy and geological work, drilling technology in our country has been rapidly developed, and formed a prospecting engineering for the industry and its professional and technical disciplines.
