DTH technique was used in well drilling exclusively to dig, accurate, vertical bores, and rotary drilling was used to turn the hole. The Directional DTH system, patented by Atlas Copco, was first used.
[pdf] Sonic drilling employs a high frequency, rotary vibratory drill that is designed to fluidize, overburden, and fracture rock faces. This process results in seamless casing advancement or continuous core samples that can be accessed without the application of drilling fluids.
