The Scots have been fighting the English for centuries. To some extent they have succeeded; but Westminster still holds the reins of Power and Purse. For some time the Scottish National Party has existed, occasionally violently. Such occurred during the 1970s when petroleum was discovered in the North Sea, much offshore Scotland. The Scots have no direct ownership, though many staging areas exist in Scotland. Sabotage and destruction of infrastructure such as pipelines occurred. Deep Driller is a story of those exciting and sometimes dangerous times of discovery on and under that lonely, turbulent and at times malevolent sea.
The discovery of oil in Tinsley, Mississippi, in 1939 captivated the South and has deeply affected the region ever since. At the end of 1940, over 133 wells were flowing, and speculators were drilling holes and staking claims all along the Gulf Coast and its immediate environs. Consequently, the region's economy, ecosystems, and politics have been shaped by black gold since the end of World War II. Alan Cockrell, a petroleum geologist, provides an insider's account of the science of oil hunting, the political processes that help or hinder it, and the advances in technology that make it all possible. This book documents the ways in which wars, foreign competition, governmental regulation, and new business models affect oil exploration, and what that means to the South's people. Just as significantly, Cockrell provides compelling commentary on the people who hunt for petroleum, from pioneering wildcatters such as Chesley Pruet to savvy geologists focusing on science and technology Drilling Ahead documents the triumphs and travails of oil hunters. Mavericks, underworld characters, professors, lawyers, and environmentalists have all played major roles in the South's oil production. A fascinating study of corporations, economies, and people, Drilling Ahead is a compelling, opinionated narrative as well as an exhaustively researched history.

An Invaluable Reference for Members of the Drilling Industry, from Owner–Operators to Large Contractors, and Anyone Interested In Drilling Developed by one of the world’s leading authorities on drilling technology, the fifth edition of The Drilling Manual draws on industry expertise to provide the latest drilling methods, safety, risk management, and management practices, and protocols. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology and techniques, this edition thoroughly updates the fourth edition and introduces entirely new topics. It includes new coverage on occupational health and safety, adds new sections on coal seam gas, sonic and coil tube drilling, sonic drilling, Dutch cone probing, in hole water or mud hammer drilling, pile top drilling, types of grouting, and improved sections on drilling equipment and maintenance. New sections on drilling applications include underground blast hole drilling, coal seam gas drilling (including well control), trenchless technology and geothermal drilling. It contains heavily illustrated chapters that clearly convey the material. This manual incorporates forward-thinking technology and details good industry practice for the following sectors of the drilling industry: Blast Hole Environmental Foundation/Construction Geotechnical Geothermal Mineral Exploration Mineral Production and Development Oil and Gas: On-shore Seismic Trenchless Technology Water Well The Drilling Manual, Fifth Edition provides you with the most thorough information about the "what," "how," and "why" of drilling. An ideal resource for drilling personnel, hydrologists, environmental engineers, and scientists interested in subsurface conditions, it covers drilling machinery, methods, applications, management, safety, geology, and other related issues.
This book presents the results of the Third International Symposium on Observation of the Continental Crust through Drilling held in Mora and Orsa, Sweden, September 7 - 10, 1987. Volume 2 reviews new and general information on geology, geophysics, rock mechanics, geochemistry, drilling techniques and drilling problems in very deep holes of the FRG, USA and the Soviet Union. The proceedings are invaluable for earth scientists as well as for exploiters of geoenergy and other natural resources in the crust. Volume 1 summarizes the results of the Deep Gas Project in the Siljan impact structure, Sweden, including papers dealing with general aspects of astroblemes. It is of interest to all researchers working in the drilling industry and those interested in the problem of "deep gas".
It is feasible to drill a hole to a depth of 50,000 feet by utilizing conventional rotary drilling equipment and techniques. Existing equipment is capable of drilling the hole but modifications of some equipment items are warranted for completion of the lower portion of the hole. The whole could be started with presently available equipment as soon as funds are available, a location established, and a contractor selected. While the upper portion of the hole (20,000 - 30,000 ft.) is being drilled, equipment modifications could be made and supplemental equipment developed. This would allow time to make the equipment available when needed for the lower portion of the hole. Two locations are considered as established by the criteria, both in the Coast Ranges Province of California in the vicinity of the San Andreas Fault. One location would be in an area where granitic rock outcrops at the surface while the other would be in an area where the granitic is overlain by 10,000 feet of sediments. The estimated time to drill the hole under ideal conditions at either location is 4-3/4 years at an estimated cost of $20,000,000. [$400/ft].
