Description: Petroleum Extension Service (PETEX) published the first edition
of A Primer of Oil well Drilling in 1951. The book's section on
cable-tool drilling was almost as large as the part devoted to rotary
drilling, and it spent as much ink on steam power as it did on internal
combustion engines. Later editions, of course, evolved with the
industry; thus, the third edition (released in the early 1970s) did not so
much as mention cable tools and steam power.
PETEX generally releases new editions of the Primer when
changes in drilling techniques and equipment are significant enough
to warrant new versions. In two cases, however, changes to the manual
were relatively minor. Therefore, PETEX released them as revisions
rather than new editions. Consequently, this sixth edition of the
Primer is, in reality, the eighth new version of the book since its initial
release in the 1950s. To say that the drilling industry has changed since
then is, of course, an understatement. This new edition reflects those
changes; however, it also acknowledges old techniques and philosophy
and their influence on the modern drilling industry.
Regardless of how the industry has changed, the book's purpose
has not: namely, to clearly explain drilling to nontechnical persons.
The Primer is just that—a first reader of the oilwell drilling business.
Although it is written primarily for adults, junior and senior high
school students should also find it informative.
It is important to acknowledge the contributions the drilling
industry has made to this manual. Tom Thomas, Transocean Sedco
Forex's Modular Training Project Manager, must be particularly
recognized. Enduring numerous interruptions, he gave many hours of
his time and expertise to answering questions and providing sources
of information. He and his company also provided encouragement
and access to offshore locations without which this book could not
have been rewritten. Mike Stevens, Health, Safety, and Environmental
Manager at Nabors Drilling USA, Inc. arranged for many visits to

were courteous, helpful, and patient. Nabors' help in providing
photos is inestimable. The same is true of Helmerich and Payne
