How Long Does It Take for A Beginner in Rotary Drilling To Learn To Operate A Rotary Drilling Rig

The duration of learning to operate a rotary drilling rig varies from person to person and is influenced by factors such as learning ability, training intensity and practical opportunities. The following is an analysis of the general cycle for beginners to master operational skills from different dimensions.

1. Theoretical learning stage: It takes 1-2 weeks to master the basic principles, including equipment structure, hydraulic systems, safety operation procedures and other theoretical knowledge. One can quickly get started through textbooks or training courses.

2. Simulation operation practice: Train with a simulator for 1-2 weeks to familiarize yourself with the logic of handle control, the coordination of rotation and drilling, and other basic movements, and form muscle memory.

3. On-site observation and practice: Follow experienced masters for 1-2 weeks of on-site observation to learn practical skills for dealing with complex working conditions, such as soil layer judgment and drill tool replacement.

4. Independent operation transition period: Under guidance, try simple operations (such as site leveling and shallow drilling), and it takes 2 to 4 weeks to accumulate a sense of touch and adapt to the dynamic feedback of the equipment.

5. Improvement in complex working conditions: It takes 1 to 3 months to master skills such as deep hole drilling and rock layer processing, and repeated practice of operation strategies for different geological conditions is required.

6. Experience accumulation period: It usually takes 6 to 12 months for a novice to become a skilled worker. Only by continuously accumulating experience in troubleshooting, efficiency optimization, etc., can one handle diverse construction scenarios.

Conclusion: Beginners need to go through the process of "theory - simulation - practice - improvement" to master the operation of rotary drilling RIGS. Generally, it takes 6 to 12 months to reach the level of independent operation, but becoming an expert still requires long-term accumulation of experience. It is recommended to shorten the growth cycle through systematic training, frequent practice and practical experience summary.
