Excerpt from Deep Well Drilling: The Principles and Practices of Deep Well Drilling and a Hand Book of Useful Information for the Well Driller There are several valuable technical works covering, in a gen eral way, the different branches of the petroleum industry or descriptive of drilling practices in certain localities, also during the past few years the U. S. Bureau of Mines has performed an admirable service in studying the problems of the driller and at frequent intervals publishing technical papers covering various phases of the subject. However, so few books have appeared that describe in detail modern well drilling practices, that the author was led to attempt this work.

Excerpt from Drill Work, Methods and Costs: A Practical Treatise Covering the Methods Used in Drilling Wells With Cable and Hollow Rod Tools In compiling the instructions, the object kept in view was to tell not only how a thing should be done, but also why it should be done as advised, thus explaining the principles lying back of the work. It is to be expected that some of the methods advocated will not meet with the approval of all drill men, but inasmuch as the reader will find reasons accompanying each method advocated, he is in a position to vary the methods as soon as he finds that his drilling conditions are such that other reasons outweigh the ones given. It must be borne in mind, however, that in drill work a mere opinion is not a reason unless it has been formed after careful consideration and ample experience. It is very likely that after a first reading of the instructions a beginner will get the impression that there is considerable risk connected with drill work, due to frequent references made regarding troubles which mightarise unless certain precautions are taken. While it is not the aim of the author to menace the beginner with disaster and while it is very likely that fishing jobs will be few and far between, if ordinary precautions are taken, still it will be found that in the large majority of cases the most prosperous drill men are those who pay the closest attention to the seemingly little things, and thus the reader's attention has been directed not only to the manner in which drilling tools should be handled, but also, in many cases to the troubles which can arise unless the tools are operated as instructed. It will also be noted that considerable space has been devoted to the handling of fishing jobs and other unusual conditions and while it is very probable that a drill man engaged in shallow, water-well work will have need for but a few of these. Instructions, still the author would urge a care ful reading of this section as the driller who has a full understanding of the troubles which can arise is very apt to use the necessary precautions to pre vent their occurrence.

Excerpt from Mud-Laden Fluid Applied to Well Drilling One of the greatest wastes of natural gas is that which often takes place in drilling oil wells. If a well is being drilled by one of the usual methods, the gas becomes a hindrance to drilling, and the driller regards it as a nuisance; or the gas may be found in a field where it has little or no immediate commercial value, and hence is allowed to escape into the air without restraint. For preventing this waste the usual dry-hole methods of drilling are unsuitable, and it is the purpose of this paper to outline a method whereby wells may be drilled and the oil recovered without waste of gas. When an open hole is bored into a bed containing gas under pres sure, the gas flows toward the hole because of the reduction of pres sure at the hole. The movement of gas is therefore always from a greater to a lesser pressure. If some means be provided for keeping the pressure within the well greater than the pressure in the gas sand there will be no flow of gas into the well. The requisite pres sure may be obtained by a column of water in the well, provided the gas pressure be not greater than that of the water when the well is full. However, the use of clear water is sometimes impracticable and is always undesirable. The action of clear water on the walls of the well causes caving, and an attempt to use clear water in drilling the well invites trouble and may injure the producing sands. By mixing clay with the water the results obtained are entirely different, and this paper deals with the use of a mud-laden fluid as applied to the dry-hole method of drilling with a cable rig, one type of which is shown in figure 1.

Excerpt from Casing Troubles and Fishing Methods in Oil Wells It is assumed throughout this paper that the reader is so familiar with the ordinary oil-well drilling and fishing methods that detailed explanation is unnecessary. The well-drilling terms that are used herein will be readily understood by those for whom this discussion is intended. However, in order to avoid confusion as to the sense in which some of these terms are applied, definitions are included.

Excerpt from Deep Hole Drilling It is well known that a long, or deep, hole - that is, one long in proportion to its diameter - is best roughed out and finished by using a tool on the end of a long bar which enters the work from one end. This is true, whether drilling into solid metal, or boring and reaming a hole that has already been drilled or bored out. A boring bar which extends through the piece, and on which is either a stationary or a traveling head, is not satisfactory for very long work, owing to the spring and deflection of the bar, which is made worse by the fact that the bar must be enough smaller than the bore to allow room for the cutter head. While a long hole may sometimes be finished satisfac torily by means of such a boring bar, by packing the cutter head with wooden blocks which just fill the part of the bog that has been ma chined, and so support the bar, the method is fundamentally incor rect for long work.
