This book discusses the subject of drilling and focuses on shallow and special drilling. The so-called “shallow drillings” are generally constructed at depths less than 1000m, with extensive coverage also given to geothermal boreholes, which can reach greater depths, with particular reference to geothermal drilling in Greece. There is significant coverage of new non-conventional geothermal drilling techniques expected to be central to the developments during the ongoing energy transition period.
Special attention is given to the so-called “special drillings,” which include scientific boreholes on land and at sea, sampling boreholes in ice, in space, in volcanoes, and faults, such as the Saint Andrew Fault in California and the Aegio Fault in our country, aimed at deploying monitoring instruments for any activity in fault zones.
The book contains thirteen chapters covering topics such as borehole safety, sampling boreholes for mining research, boreholes for geotechnical investigations, and tunneling boreholes. It covers borehole records, problems and challenges of sampling boreholes, submarine sampling boreholes, and environmental sampling boreholes. There is extensive coverage of hydrogeological boreholes, geothermal drilling, and special boreholes. The fluids of boreholes are analyzed, and the theoretical issue of predicting rock permeability is discussed.
