美国能源部洛斯·阿拉莫斯国家实验室最近开发出一种新型微钻进技术(new microdrilling technology),可称之为回转勘探钻进。这种技术的内含包括:一个采矿钻机钻头和油井涡轮机并连接在2.5cm直径的铜盘管上。将100m长的盘管缠绕在滚筒上。将盘管通过井口安装在喷射器上,利用喷射器可钻进任何角度的钻孔。据洛斯·阿拉莫斯实验室地学工程组负责人Jim Albdght宣称,这种钻机还能节省孔距,与油田型钻机 The U.S. Department of Energy’s Los Alamos National Laboratory recently developed a new microdrilling technology called rotary drilling. The inclusion of this technology includes a mining drill bit and a well turbine connected to a 2.5cm diameter copper coil. Winding a 100 m long coil on the drum. The coil is mounted on the injector through the wellhead and can be drilled at any angle with the injector. According to Jim Albdght, head of geospatial engineering at Los Alamos Laboratory, the rig also saves pitch, unlike field-based rigs
