The drilling technology division of the ASME focuses on various aspects of drilling technology under research and development that is advanced in nature and may not yet have reached the commercial stage. Tools or processes that have reached commercialization are still in a proving stage but have shown promising results to date which can expand the state of the art in the oil and gas industry. The 1994 Conference consists of papers on a wide variety of topics ranging from drilling bits to slim-hole and coiled tubing drilling. Advanced topics such as laser water jet drilling, rock melting drilling, and automatic closed-loop steering for directional drilling will be presented. A new session on Environmental Drilling will be held for the first time this year. The authors belong to academia as well as industry and come from the US, France, Brazil, and China. The papers will provide a forum for discussion of a good mix of both fundamental and applied research. Thirty papers from this conference have been prepared for inclusion on the data base.
