Abstract
The lithology identification while drilling is a critical component of intelligent coal mine exploration. Investigating automatic lithology identification methods is of great significance for enhancing reservoir prediction accuracy and the automation level of drilling exploration. This study proposes a novel method for automatic lithology identification while drilling based on the mapping relationship between acoustic pressure and rock physics parameters. First, core samples were collected from an operational mine borehole to prepare homogeneous (single lithology) and layered (composite lithology) rock specimens, providing reliable materials for drilling experiments. Second, a full-scale laboratory drilling system was designed and constructed, providing a robust dataset for time-frequency analysis with strong engineering applicability. Furthermore, a quantitative fitting model between…
