Lecture 01 : Introduction to Drilling Technology

Historical and Modern Context of Drilling Drilling and blasting have been integral to human civilization since ancient times, evolving from rudimentary methods like using bamboo or wooden tools for soil penetration to advanced technologies enabling massive drilling projects. Today, these techniques are essential in various applications such as creating tunnels, extracting rock samples, tapping water sources, supporting structures, and more. The advancements include record-breaking achievements like the Sakhalin-I oil borehole (12 km deep) for economic purposes and experimental Soviet Union drill holes exploring Earth's crust.

Purpose-Driven Applications of Drilling Technology Modern drilling technology serves diverse excavation needs including mining minerals, trenching operations or developing underground spaces crucial for societal infrastructure. It involves selecting appropriate machines based on factors such as diameter requirements length constraints material type being drilled through among others ensuring efficiency cost-effectiveness sustainability throughout processes involved therein .
