This classic guide bridges geology and engineering to explain the methods, equipment, and decisions involved in well drilling. It outlines how rock types and formations influence which technique to use and what to expect at the surface, from rig setup to final casing.

The book presents the scope, aims, and practical value of drilling work. It covers the chief uses of different drilling methods, the parts of each outfit, and how operators choose among options under real-world geology and economic conditions. Readers will learn how methods have developed and how to apply them to varying sites and objectives.

How major drilling approaches work, from hydraulic rotary to percussion and core drilling
What equipment and tools are used, and how crews manage the drilling process
How rock types, water-bearing formations, and depth shape method choice
Common challenges, such as casing, packing, and tool recovery, and practical remedies

Ideal for readers of geology, engineering, or practical water-well projects seeking a solid, historically informed overview of well sinking.
