Impact excavation system and method with injection system

1. An excavating system comprising:

a pump directly connected to a flow region the flow region, the flow region having a first pressure and in direct fluid communication with a drill string having a drill bit on its lower end, such that the pump is in fluid communication with the flow region;

a vessel including a suspension of a plurality of solid material impactors and a drilling fluid in selective fluid communication with the pump;

a pressurizing device having an outlet in pressure communication with the vessel wherein the pressurizing device outlet pressure is selectively operable at a second pressure and wherein the second pressure exceeds the first pressure; and

a flow line connecting the vessel to the flow region, the flow line operable at a third pressure when discharging the suspension from the vessel, the third pressure greater than the first pressure, wherein the flow line is configured to inject the suspension into the flow region based on a difference between the first and third pressure and further into the drill string.

2. The system of claim 1 further comprising a pressure reduction between the pump and the flow region.

3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a valve in the flow line, the valve selectively openab 1 e and closeable.

4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a pressure reduction in the flow line.

5. The system of claim 1 further comprising an impactor reservoir in selective communication with the vessel.

6. The system of claim 1 further comprising an excavation system in fluid communication with the flow region.

7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a second vessel in fluid communication with the pressurizing device, in selective fluid communication with the pump, and in selective fluid communication with the flow region.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system further comprises:

an increasing velocity flow discharge in fluid communication with the flow region.

9. A method of excavating a formation comprising:

(a) charging a first vessel containing a plurality of substantially spherical, uniform diameter, and rigid formation excavation impactors and drilling fluid at a first pressure that is greater than an atmospheric pressure to form a suspension of drilling fluid and formation excavation impactors in the vessel;

(b) pressurizing the first vessel to a second pressure that is greater than the first pressure;

(c) discharging a flow of the suspension from the first vessel to a flow line at about the second pressure in fluid communication with a flow region including the drilling fluid at about the first pressure thereby injecting at least a portion of the suspension of drilling fluid and the plurality of impactors into the flow region;

(d) directing suspension of drilling fluid and plurality of impactors from the flow region to a drill string having a drill bit on an end; and

(e) directing the suspension to a formation so that the impactors compress the formation to structurally alter the formation.

10. The method of claim 9 further comprising:

increasing a velocity of the flow of the suspension of drilling fluid and the plurality of impactors.

11. The method of claim 9 further comprising repeating steps (a) - (c) using a second vessel.

12. The method of claim 11 further comprising staggering step (c) of claim 9 and step (c) of claim 11 , wherein the flow of the suspension of the drilling fluid and plurality of impactors is continuous.
