Flexible Drill-Stem Drill Rigs
Flexible drill-stem technology spools a flexible conduit onto a take-up reel to rapidly lower and hoist bits, motors, and other tools in and out of the borehole. Such operations proceed quickly compared to using a jointed-pipe drilling rig because the con

Preface
This book was written for the purpose of providing a review of mechanical ice drilling technology, including the design, parameters, and performance of various tools and drills for making holes in snow, firn, and ice. Drilling in glaciers began more than 170 years ago, but incredible progress in the development of ice drilling tools and devices occurred in the period of 1950–1970, when the modern vision of ice drilling technology was developed. The past 20– 30 years have seen the expansion of new innovative solutions in ice drilling instrumentation. This seems to be an appropriate time to review older and more recent developments. My first review of mechanical drilling in
