With increasing depth, geothermal energy offers an almost inexhaustible potential for renewable energy. The drilling costs however, rise exponentially with depth in the case of conventional rotary ...

A new drilling technique is opening up vast fields of previously out-of-reach oil in the western United States, helping reverse a two-decade decline in domestic production of crude. Companies are ...

NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover has conducted the first test of a new drilling technique on the Red Planet since its drill stopped working reliably. This early test produced a hole about a half-inch ...

Accurate prediction of bottomhole circulating temperature is important during drilling and completion of oil and gas wells and critical for properly designed cement slurries. Downhole temperature is ...

Hydraulic fracturing, more commonly known as fracking, has been used in the United States for decades — stretching back to the 1940s and 50s. However, the technology boomed in the country during the ...
