PCT No. PCT/NO93/00190 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 15, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 15, 1995 PCT Filed Dec. 13, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/13925 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 23, 1994.A device for drilling holes (1) in the crust of the earth, especially for drilling oil wells, wherein a rotary bit (2) is fitted in a drill string (4), within which drilling fluid is pumped downwardly and, upon return, conveys cuttings to the surface. A piston (5) is mounted on the drill string (4) above the bit (2) and adapted to form a sliding seal against the wall of the hole (1). A seal (8) is mounted above the piston (5) within the hole (1) and adapted to seal against the wall of the hole (1), against the drill string (4), against a return line (6) adapted to conduct drilling fluid with cuttings from the under side of the piston (5) to the top of the seal (8), as well as against a pipe (9) communicating with a pump (10) adapted to pump liquid in between the seal (8) and the piston (5), whereby liquid pressure acting against the upper face of the piston (5) urges the bit (2) against the bottom of the hole (1).
