The Petroleum Mining and Oil-Field Development: A Guide to the Exploration of Petroleum Lands, and a Study of the Engineering Problems Connected With the Winning of Petroleum offers practical insight into early oil exploration.
Authored by Arthur Beeby Thompson, it combines field-tested methods with engineering analysis to help readers understand how petroleum lands are surveyed, tested, and developed.
Structured for professionals and students of the oil industry, the book reviews drilling practices, boring records, casing techniques, and the management of oil properties. It emphasizes the importance of accurate boring journals, data gathering, and practical approaches to handling challenging geology, water ingress, and production planning. The work also covers statistical data and the origin and distribution of petroleum to provide a broad, useful view of oil-field development.
- Foundational drilling concepts, including logs and records that track progress and geology.
- Methods for controlling water inflow and selecting appropriate casing and drilling systems.
- Practical guidance on organizing and interpreting field data for decision making.
- Historical and technical context to help readers understand oil-field economics and administration.
Ideal for readers of technical histories and professionals working in oil exploration, drilling, and field operations.

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
