There are three principal types of augers used for well drilling : bucket augers, solid-stem augers, and hollow-stem augers.... Solid-stem augers consist of spiral flanges welded to a pipe. One length of pipe(or auger section) is called a flight; multiple auger sections are often referred to as continuous flighting. The leading auger flight has a special bit or cutter head attached that cuts a hole for the flights to follow. Flights are added as the hole is drilled deeper. Cuttings from the drilling process are brought to the surface by the action of the augers.... Hollow-stem augers are similar to solid-stem augers in design, except that drill rods can pass through the auger sections.... Because the flights are hollow, they can be used as temporary casing to hold the hole open while the permanent casing is installed. Wells drilled with hollow-stem augers have been used to construct water supply wells, but they are more often used to construct monitoring wells.  3, record 2, English, - hollow%20stem%20auger

Il existe deux types de tarières : les tarières creuses et les tarières pleines. Le principal avantage des tarières creuses par rapport aux tarières pleines est de permettre l'installation du puits d'observation sans avoir à retirer les tarières du sol. L'utilisation des tarières pleines n'est possible que dans les matériaux cohésifs car les parois du forage doivent rester verticales assez longtemps pour mettre en place le puits d'observation, la lanterne de sable et le bouchon d'étanchéité.  3, record 2, French, - tari%C3%A8re%20%C3%A0%20tige%20creuse

Les tarières creuses sont des tarières continues avec une lumière centrale dans laquelle est introduit un train de tiges dont l'extrémité est munie d'un taillant. Ce taillant permet de forer les sols qui sont remontés en surface par le mouvement ascendant de l'hélicoïde. Si l'on désire prélever un échantillon de sol, le train de tiges est remonté, le taillant est remplacé par un outil de prélèvement de sols (un carottier par exemple) descendu jusqu'au fond du forage.  4, record 2, French, - tari%C3%A8re%20%C3%A0%20tige%20creuse

Casing that is installed in a well to facilitate well control during drilling of the hole for the surface casing.  2, record 3, English, - conductor%20casing

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Conductor casing is installed first, usually prior to the arrival of the drilling rig. The hole for conductor casing is often drilled with a small auger drill, mounted on the back of a truck. Conductor casing, which is usually no more than 20 to 50 feet long, is installed to prevent the top of the well from caving in and to help in the process of circulating the drilling fluid up from the bottom of the well. Onshore, this casing is usually 16 to 20 inches in diameter while offshore casing usually measures 30 to 42 inches. The conductor casing is cemented into place before drilling begins.  3, record 3, English, - conductor%20casing

A special coupling device, inserted one or two joints above the bottom of the casing string, that contains a check valve to permit fluid to pass downward but not upward through the casing.  3, record 4, English, - float%20collar

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The float collar prevents drilling mud from entering the casing while it is being lowered, allowing the casing to float during its descent and also decreasing the load on the derrick. The float collar also prevents a backflow of cement during the cementing operation.  3, record 4, English, - float%20collar

Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The guide shoe prevents the casing from hanging up on irregularities in the borehole as it is lowered. A passage through the center of the shoe allows the drilling fluid to pass up into the casing while it is being lowered and the cement to pass out through the shoe during cementing operations.  1, record 6, English, - guide%20shoe
