The United States should not drill for oil in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge because it would harm the environment‚ disrupt the animals‚ and destroy plants. The United States Congress created the Artic National Wildlife Refuge in 1980 (To drill or not to drill?: 6). The Artic National Wildlife Refuge is also known as ANWR (To drill or not to drill?: 6). The Artic National Wildlife Refuge is 19.6 million acres of wilderness (Scalzo‚ Jim Lo.: 37). Of the 19.6 million acres in the Artic National

DRILLING FLUIDS The key to making the rotary drilling system work is the ability to circulate a fluid continuously down through the drill pipe‚ out through the bit nozzles and back to the surface. The drilling fluid can be air‚ foam (a combination of air and liquid or a liquid. Liquid drilling fluids are commonly called drilling mud. All drilling fluids‚ especially drilling mud‚ can have a wide range of chemical and physical properties. These properties are specifically designed for

DRILLING THEORY Principles of percussive drilling In percussive drilling‚ the energy required to break the rock is generated by a pneumatic or hydraulic rock drill. Machines of this kind build up a pressure which‚ on being released‚ drives the piston forward (Fig. 1). The piston strikes on the shank adaptor. The kinetic energy of the piston is converted into a stress wave which travels along the drill string to the rock. In order to obtain the best possible drilling economy the whole
