This book provides an applications-based, across-the-board look at how to use increasingly popular air and gas drilling techniques - both basic and advanced. It discusses how these techniques are applied in vital industries construction and development of water wells, geotechnical boreholes, mining operations boreholes, and more. It covers both deep and shallow borehole drilling in rock, using compressed air or various other gases as the circulating primary drilling fluid. It is excellent for petroleum, mining, drilling, groundwater, and other engineers, as well as geologists, seeking to increase their expertise in this important, up-and-coming new area of drilling technology.
