Rule #1
• There are drillers --- and then there are drillers– Water well drillers do not have the capabilities
that gas and oil well drillers possess– Selection of the right type of driller for any
particular situation can save time and provide improved accuracy.
– Consider use of directional drillers when appropriate

Rule #2
• Mine operators should pre-surveylocations on the surface above their mines corresponding to key points underground (refuge alternatives, etc.) – Waiting to do this during a mine emergency
takes too much time and valuable resources
![Page 4: Mine Rescue Drilling - Mine Safety and Health … Rescue Drilling...7 Atlas Copco CMT’s Oil & Gas Rig Line • RD20 – Proven machine developed in 1980’s – 120,000 LB hookload](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022517/5b067ae57f8b9ad5548ceeaf/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Rule #3
• During Mine Emergency Operations always require operators to drill multiple probe holes and at least two rescue holes

Rule #4
• Operators should review mine plans to assure that refuge alternatives are positioned underground corresponding to accessible locations on the surface (if possible)– Minimum drilling distances should be sought
to refuge alternatives/other key locations
![Page 11: Mine Rescue Drilling - Mine Safety and Health … Rescue Drilling...7 Atlas Copco CMT’s Oil & Gas Rig Line • RD20 – Proven machine developed in 1980’s – 120,000 LB hookload](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022517/5b067ae57f8b9ad5548ceeaf/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Rule # 5
• Murphy was an optimist – prepare for the unexpected!
![Page 14: Mine Rescue Drilling - Mine Safety and Health … Rescue Drilling...7 Atlas Copco CMT’s Oil & Gas Rig Line • RD20 – Proven machine developed in 1980’s – 120,000 LB hookload](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022517/5b067ae57f8b9ad5548ceeaf/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Bit breakage/shanking
• What caused bit to shank?• Little time for planning!! • Uneven loading on bit face
– Geology being drilled– Poor stabilization (alignment)– Worn tool bit alignment bearings
• Pre-existing fatigue cracks– Corrosion– Cyclic fatigue
• Did the 17 hr fishing delay help?
![Page 16: Mine Rescue Drilling - Mine Safety and Health … Rescue Drilling...7 Atlas Copco CMT’s Oil & Gas Rig Line • RD20 – Proven machine developed in 1980’s – 120,000 LB hookload](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022517/5b067ae57f8b9ad5548ceeaf/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Rule #6
• Education always pays off– We all need to learn more about drilling
requirements, and utilize proven drilling resources
– MSHA is working to identify proven drilling resources and plans to provide this information on MSHA web page
![Page 17: Mine Rescue Drilling - Mine Safety and Health … Rescue Drilling...7 Atlas Copco CMT’s Oil & Gas Rig Line • RD20 – Proven machine developed in 1980’s – 120,000 LB hookload](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022517/5b067ae57f8b9ad5548ceeaf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Rule #7
• A drilling tool on hand is worth 10 on the way!– We need to work with drillers to pre-position
drilling tools/drill pipe that will be needed for mine emergencies

Rule #8
• Rescue capsules may need wheels!
