Can You Drill a Hole in Your Head and Survive? tackles age-old health and scientific quandaries.  Addictive and endlessly entertaining, this is the perfect gift for know-it-alls and know-nothings alike. 

Drilling technology has advanced immensely in the past 20 years. Directional drilling brought on in the late 1980s, rotary steerable drilling and other smart downhole techniques and tools have progressed past the typical vertical and even basic horizontal well, allowing drilling engineers the creativity to design wells of complex geometry with multiple wellpaths and extract energy resources from remote, untapped places. While technology continues to excel, there is an ever growing need for multidisciplinary information and software to assist in the design and planning of complex wells. This volume offers a full understanding of elaborate drilling processes and engineering well design aspects. Starting with essential topics such as well trajectory and wellbore positioning, Samuel explains well-path planning for directional and extended-reach wells. Other vital topics of this title include: collision avoidance, checking for proximity between neighbouring wells; downhole survey tools plus MWD/LWD and through bit logging; intelligent smart well technology including downhole monitoring tools; and, supplementary problems and references at the end of each chapter. Samuel produces the most comprehensive handbook in advanced drilling technology, guiding the drilling engineer to mitigate risks, manage the reservoir effectively and make hidden missed opportunities viable possibilities.

Managed Pressure Drilling Operations is a significant technology worldwide and beginning to make an impact all over the world. Often reservoir and drilling engineers are faced with the decision on how best to construct a well to exploit zones of interest while seeking to avoid drilling problems that contribute to reservoir damage or cause loss of hole. The decision to pursue a MPD operation is based on the intent of applying the most appropriate technology for the candidate and entails either an acceptance of influx to the surface or avoidance of influx into the wellbore. In today's exploration and production environment, drillers must now drill deeper, faster and into increasingly harsher environments where using conventional methods could be counter-productive at best and impossible at worst. Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) is rapidly gaining popularity as a way to mitigate risks and costs associated with drilling in harsh environments. If done properly, MPD can improve economics for any well being drilled by reducing a rig's nonproductive time. Written for engineers, drilling managers, design departments, and operations personnel, Managed Pressure Drilling Modeling is based on the author's on experience and offers instruction on planning, designing and executing MPD projects. Compact and readable, the book provides a step by step methods for understanding and solve problems involving variables such as backpressure, variable fluid density, fluid rheology, circulating friction, hole geometry and drillstring diameter. All MPD variations are covered, including Constant Bottomhole Pressure, Pressurized MudCap Drilling and Dual Gradient Drilling. Case histories from actual projects are designed and analyzed using proprietary simulation software online. With this book in hand drilling professionals gain knowledge of the various variations involved in managed pressure drilling operations; understand the safety and operational aspects of a managed pressure drilling project; and be able to make an informed selection of all equipment required to carry out a managed pressure drilling operation.Case histories from actual projects are designed and analyzed using proprietary simulation software online Clearly explains the safety and operational aspects of a managed pressure drilling project Expert coverage of the various variations involved in managed pressure drilling operations Numerical tools and techniques needed for applying MPD principles and practices to individual projects

with Barry Brodzinski, Five-Star Basketball Shooting Instructor "Shooting is hard work!" In 20 years of experience as the shooting instructor at the legendary Five-Star Basketball Camps, Coach Barry Brodzinski has taught thousands of players. His experience indicates that even great players don't properly use shooting drills to elevate them to the next level. Likewise, coaches at times are limited in their experience to incorporate shooting drills into their practices so that players improve their shooting daily. By utilizing the drills on this DVD, players can easily take 500 shots in an hour workout and truly improve their shooting. Coaches can build these drills into the framework of their practice sessions. The first half of this DVD is dedicated to 25 Individual shooting drills. Warm-up shooting, shooting on the move, triangle shooting drill, post shooting drills, full court shooting, and the "Combo 24" free throw conditioning drill are highlights. Players who work out on their own must go at game speed, set "shots made" goals, and never leave the court without making the last shot. The final 25 drills, coaches shooting drills, focus on Multi-player shooting drills; they are beneficial because they rely on good passing, teamwork, excellent communication, and hard work. Shooting drills such as "Beat the Ghost", Distraction drill, full court dribble shooting, corner shooting, shuffle shooting, and team partner shooting drills are creative and demanding. As players work on shooting technique and accuracy, they also improve their conditioning. Overall, these 50 fast-paced drills can be added into your individual or team workouts. With reinforcement of proper technique and a high degree of repetition, players will gain greater confidence, and success, as a shooter. 72 minutes. 2006.
