Question 3283 Deck General
70% to passA frame with two, or sometimes four, arms through which are threaded the guidelines and which is used to keep the drill stem and bit in line with the center opening in the temporary guide base is the _______________.
The correct answer is C) guide frame. A guide frame is a piece of equipment used in drilling operations that helps keep the drill stem and bit aligned with the center opening in the temporary guide base. It has two or sometimes four arms through which the guidelines are threaded, allowing the drill stem and bit to be kept in a straight, centered position as the drilling progresses. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the specific purpose and function of a guide frame in drilling operations. A drill stem guide, casing guide, and drill string frame serve different roles in the drilling process, but do not match the description provided in the question.
