It consists mainly of about 1,750 metres (m) of boreholes at sea at several sites in the area under study, using a dynamically positioned drilling vessel (MSPOV Kingfisher) equipped with a piggyback coring system and a re entrable seabed system, which can eliminate or reduce the limitation of the drilling length inherent in the length of the tidal periods of currents navigable by the drilling vessel, as was the case in previous surveys.

450. A drive to find cost effective methods to drill and complete wells in deepwater has led to the development work for a dual purpose drilling completing vessel with a dual derrick and dual rotary table.

Deep borehole drilling

So it's the deepest geological bore hole ever drilled.

It's a scientific drilling vessel.

And we drilled in the Ross Sea.

Cars for the Benedict party.

This is my 10th diamond expedition.

However, for reasons linked, on the one hand, to the geological complexity of the site study of which calls for drilling of deep boreholes in the seabed and, on the other hand, to the difficulties of such deep borehole drilling owing to the exceptional pattern of currents in the Strait, the geological investigations in question are highly difficult and burdensome.

Like one of the ways to understand our greenhouse future is to drill down in time to the last period where we had CO2 double what it is today.

For this reason, in the study process for the permanent link through the Strait, a strong emphasis has been placed recently on the aforesaid geological investigations. This led to three deep drilling surveys, followed by a fourth, begun recently (see para. 15 below), which is intended to provide sufficient information leading to the selection of the pilot project route.

At the peak of activity earlier this year, the researchers lowered the drill an extra hundred feet deeper into the ice every day and another 365 years deeper into the past.

The crater is currently covered by sediments, and has recently been extensively drilled.

The most common methods of deleting markings are grinding and drilling.

Today, a drill with the capability of boring more than 1 metre would be essential to further research and investigation.

It is these laws, policies and practices that attract mining companies to prospect for and subsequently exploit the diamonds, copper nickel, coal, gold and soda ash deposits.

A few years ago, as part of the archaeological exploration of the Pyramids, a sophisticated drilling system was developed to drill into a subsurface chamber and deploy a camera without allowing air into the chamber.

And what we found after drilling back in time two to 400 years was that these were unique events.

This is a crazy thing, this big drill rig wrapped in a blanket to keep everybody warm, drilling at temperatures of minus 40.

The adoption in December 2003 of the programme of work for 2004 2006 gave a new impetus to the research and led to the resumption of deep drilling surveys.

Recognizing also the positive benefits of the legitimate diamond trade to producing countries, and underlining the need for continued international action to prevent the problem of conflict diamonds from negatively affecting the trade in legitimate diamonds, which makes a critical contribution to the economies of many of the producing, exporting and importing States, especially developing States,

The Committee recommended that a number of insufficiencies in the evaluation be addressed prior to penetrating the lake.

The new US rules for offshore oil operations in the Arctic which forced Shell to postpone drilling until next year are certainly stricter than the old rules, and will reduce the risk of a blowout. But, if one occurs, the only reliable way to stop it and cap the well is to drill a relief well.

Yeah, I'd lke to get a law degree,

And come back out further off.

I wouldn't say his stunt double. There's a crazy rig that we built for this.

62 11. The role of diamonds in fuelling conflict breaking the link between the illicit transaction of rough diamonds and armed conflict as a contribution to prevention and settlement of conflicts

Why can't we think of some legal loophole that'll give us an out?

Welcoming, in this regard, the implementation of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme in such a way as not to impede the legitimate trade in diamonds or impose an undue burden on Governments or industry, particularly smaller producers, nor hinder the development of the diamond industry,

The role of diamonds in fuelling conflict

And the catheters they shoved into me without proper medication made me scream out the way the Earth cries out from the drilling.

So we have a diamond drill.

46. Egypt has expertise in drill development.

Why don't I slip into something more comfortable? By all means.

Welcoming also the important contributions made and that continue to be made by civil society and the diamond industry, in particular the World Diamond Council which represents all aspects of the diamond industry, to assist international efforts to stop the trade in conflict diamonds,

Welcoming, in this regard, the implementation of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme in such a way that it does not impede the legitimate trade in diamonds or impose an undue burden on Governments or industry, particularly smaller producers, and does not hinder the development of the diamond industry,

So we drill back in time to see how often that's happened, and exactly how fast that ice can melt.

A topographic survey was carried out around the summit of Dome A, including the drilling of a 108 metre ice core.

There are 40 platforms and vessels around the world that could have submitted a tender for the drilling of the deep water (1,600 meter) oil exploration well off Cuban coasts.
