    The series takes place on Phaze and Proton, two worlds occupying the same space in two different dimensional planes. Phaze is a lush planet of magic, where Proton is a barren mining planet of science. As the series opens, each person born on Phaze and Proton has an alternate self living on the other world.

    They are generally programmed by the measurement while drilling (MWD) engineer or directional driller who transmits commands using surface equipment (typically using either pressure fluctuations in the mud column or variations in the drill string rotation) which the tool responds to, and gradually steers into the desired direction.

  4. Tornado Intercept Vehicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_Intercept_Vehicle

    The Tornado Intercept Vehicle 1 (TIV 1) and Tornado Intercept Vehicle 2 (TIV 2) are vehicles used to film with an IMAX camera from very close to or within a tornado. They were designed by film director Sean Casey. Both TIVs have "intercepted" numerous tornadoes, including the June 12, 2005, Jayton, Texas tornado, the June 5, 2009, Goshen County ...

  5. Drilling engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling_engineering

    Drilling engineering is a subset of petroleum engineering. [1] Drilling engineers design and implement procedures to drill wells as safely and economically as possible. [1] They work closely with the drilling contractor, service contractors, and compliance personnel, as well as with geologists and other technical specialists.

    Rotary table (#20) rotates, along with its constituent parts, the kelly and kelly bushing, the drill string and the attached tools and bit. Shale shaker (#2) separates drill cuttings from the drilling fluid before it is pumped back down the wellbore. Stand (#16) is a section of 2 or 3 joints of drill pipe connected and stood upright in the ...

  7. Bottom hole assembly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom_hole_assembly

    Rotary assemblies [2] are commonly used where formations are predictable and the rig economics are an issue. In such an assembly the weight of the drill collars gives the BHA the tendency to sag or flex to the low side of the hole, collar stiffness length and stabiliser diameter and placement are engineered as a means of controlling the flex of the BHA.

  8. Tornado preparedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_preparedness

    [2] Before a tornado strikes an area, the wind has been known to die down and the air to become very still. [2] [dubious – discuss] A cloud of debris has sometimes marked the bottom of a tornado even when the funnel was not visible. Tornadoes typically occur along the trailing edge of a thunderstorm. The following is a summary of typical ...

  9. Corrected d-exponent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrected_d-exponent

    The Corrected d-exponent, also known as cd-exponent or more correctly dc-exponent (d c-exponent) as used in mud logging and formation pore pressure analysis in the oil industry, is an extrapolation of certain drilling parameters to estimate a pressure gradient for pore pressure evaluation while drilling.
