...number: RA213865 The Megablitz Drill that was arranged to be shipped to me on Tuesday September 17, 2013, through your airlines to the above address did not arrive, and was sent on the wrong flight. Consequently I am requesting reimbursement of the extra expenses I incurred due to the fact drill I ordered needed to be rented in my city. I am a supervisor with Multiple Development Industries Inc. I am supervising the installation of environmental equipment at a new office here in Thunder. This large project required the Megablitz 400 drill, in which I needed your services to fly this drill from Chicago to Thunder Bay. The Megablitz 400 drill was supposed to be shipped to me in Thunder Bay on last Tuesday on the 6:15 am flight. My company rented the drill to me and was to be used round-the-clock for 48 hours and the returned on Friday morning. (MDI rental number; MDI 3546) After a four-hour delay I found out that it had been shipped to Seoul, South Korea, and would not arrive until Friday. The Multiple Development Industries Inc. (MDI) in Chicago sent a special five-person drilling crew as well as hired eight other drillers from Thunder Bay for the project, through Morton Installers. The MDI drillers were paid $600 per person each day, and the local drillers $200, $4600 per day for all of them. I now had 13 expensive drillers in Thunder Bay with nothing to do and no drill to do anything with. Considering there was no drill, I would now be paying these drillers...

...To Drill Or Not To Drill Hum/111 02/13/2011 Natalie D. Harris I think that when it comes to drilling for oil in foreign countries or spending money to create new technology to make our own oil we should make the new technology and have our own oil. Three reasons why I am on this side is because you have to spend money to make money or save money, there will not be any more wars over oil and we will gain more independence. Those three reasons all tie into each other in some way because we will save money by not going to war with other countries over oil and we will gain independence from them because we will not be looking to them for oil. My first reason behind my position is because you have to spend money to make money and that is with anything because if we make our own oil with new technology then we will not have to pay as many people to work for the oil and gas prices will be cheaper. It is a win-win situation if we make the new technology. It may be a little costly at first but eventually everything will be cheaper because of the new technology. At the same time we will be making money because other countries may have to come to us for oil and we will be making more money that we used to give to other countries. Overall money will be made and saved after a little bit is spent in the beginning. My second reason behind my position is that there will not be anymore wars over oil and this is true because we fight a lot of wars over oil and if we have our own oil...

...Critical Thinking Scenario ETH/316 November 30, 2015 Ryan Busch The scenario that I choose was the, “To Drill or Not to Drill.” The basis of the story is based on the Rocky Mountain range and if the energy companies should be allowed to drill for gas at the expense of endangering the natural wildlife that live in the ecosystem there. The story was put together by Nightline on July nineteen, two thousand and four. * What is the moral responsibility of all participants? The moral responsibility of all the participants are to decide if it is morally right to drill for gas in a natural reserve. The government should look at what the land is set aside for, not what they can acquire form the natural reserve. The Bureau of Land Management, and the BLM Field Manager is also responsible because they are the ones that process the applications to drill. The gas companies that wish to drill are responsible for drill in a safe and way that the land and animals are not affected by the drilling. * What are the stakeholders' moral failings? The failing of the US government is that they want the energy companies to be able to drill for gas to benefit from the energy and monetary value that this will provide the country. The BLM has the failing in that they rarely deny an application to drill. “How many of those applications have you rejected? Actually, percentage wise very few but I have changed many.” (The BLM Field Manager in Pinedale, 2004). The failing of the energy...

...specifications of small and large electronic firms by a self-invented process making them one of the industry leaders. The routine process1 can be divided in three main stages - preparation, image transfer and fabrication (Appendix I). In both, image transfer and fabrication, it is possible to choose between two alternate technologies (manual vs. automatic) leading to the same output in a sub-process while differing in a fixed setup time and run time per board. Therefore, a break-even quantity was calculated for both in order to configure a decision rule on which option to schedule customer orders to achieve the smallest total production time (Appendix III). As a result, for manufacturing orders of more or equal than six boards the CNC Drill should be the preferred technology in the drilling process. However, for orders greater than 200 boards the operation of choice...

...Does a hero need to be as strong as superman, hulk, or like any bodybuilder? Do they need weapons like the iron man, batman, or a military soldier? Well, according to an American folklore, one man didn't. His name was John Henry. John Henry was born in 1840 and was a slave until 1865 when the Civil War ended. He was 25 and stood 6 feet tall and was 200 pounds. Which at the time was very unheard of. Because of his size he was tasked with hammering a steel drill into a rock to make holes for explosives so that it could make room for a new railroad tunnel. John Henry did this task well until one day a salesman came and brought a steam-powered drill and challenged anyone to a drilling challenge. Nobody was as qualified for the job as John Henry because he was drilling 10 to 12 foot holes in one day! With one hammer! John Henry accepted the challenge and started to go up against the steam-powered drill. He was only given 2 steel hammers. All odds were against John Henry but he knew if he lost his coworkers and himself would be left out of a job. So he took one...

...so supportive of each other; they showed a united front that helped this rescue attempt to go much smoother. For Chilean miners would this be enough support to help those that are sick to find the strength to hold on so that they reacquaint with their love ones. Will the drilling company be able to produce a drill that will be able to go down that deep and rescue the miners? Will it take them three or four months to drill a hole before the miners are free? Thirty-Three Chilean workers trapped in a mine Thirty-three Chilean miners trapped in a mine in San Jose under Atacama Desert with very little oxygen, food and water. All thirty-three miners were underground for 17 days before their first contact from the outside world. Codelco mining company is a state owned company in Chile, that was in charge to drill three small bore holes into the ground which was the first break through to reach the workers, allowing the rescuers to be able to communicate with them and send them food and medicine. The companies plan was to bore a rescue hole that would pull the miners up from 2,300 feet of the earth. First, they have to drill a pilot hole in the earth that is similar to a borehole. This would make the hole wide enough to establish some form of communication, sending down a camera to see how the miners were holding up 2300 feet below the earth surface, allowing them to speak into the camera to their family members. After drilling...

The San Jose mine in northern Chili, collapsed, trapping 33 miner. The is owned by Minera San Esteban Primera. This was the third collapse since 2007. The miners were trapped 9842 feet under the ground. They had very little food, water and oxygen. According to Raul Villegas, who barely escaped the mine collapse, at approximately 2:00 pm that day, dust was filling the cavern, but he was only mildly concerned because that was a normal occurrence. However, as he got closer to the surface, he and his truck was almost over taken by a bigger cloud of dust, in circling him in dirt and darkness. Raul stated that he just made it out of the cavern when the mine collapsed. He goes on to state that it felt like a dynamite explosion, with an immense wave. He did report the incident to his supervisors, but it was hours later that the company notified the authorities. He and other workers tried to enter the cavern to start a recue effort but they soon realized that the ramp to enter the cavern had disappeared. The regions six-person special operations squad then triesd to enter the cavern arounf 9:00 pm, but returned around 6:00 am the next morning empty handed, shaken and drenched in sweat. By this time, relatives and reporters had arrived on the site, demanding answers, alonf with a number of independent miners,...

...To Drill or Not to Drill HUM/114 March 25, 2014 Teresa Konigsburg The understanding that America needs to drill for oil here domestically is the general consensus for every American, if you don’t see it this way then you may want relocate elsewhere. But this may not be any easy task for us to accomplish. First off, there are those that oppose the drilling not on the grounds of not wanting to see America get off of foreign oil but those that see us getting off because we should be looking alternative ways for energy. The term going green is really big thing these days; solar power, biofuel and wind should be the next step in dependable and safe ways of obtaining energy independence. Another thing we have to take into consideration is that, the oil industry employees a lot of people, what are we going to do with those people when oil isn’t the main source of energy anymore. Where do these people find work when the major oil companies have cut production because the need is low and they have to start laying these people off? This is the question that we have to ask ourselves because there are no answers for that part of the equation as of yet. Do you start training these men and woman how to set up solar panel and have to store that energy that is come from the panels, where does the money come from for this? Same can be said about the wind and biofuel, where does the funding coming from to get these people trained up on this. Simply put, we have not set a clear path...

...Name: Melaku Gelaw Name the tools: Tap a tap wrench Tool Type: hand tools Name: Melaku Gelaw Name the tools: Tap a tap wrench Tool Type: hand tools What damage or faults do you need to look for before using these tools? To make sure the handle is straight so it can provide greater leverage, especially when using larger diameter taps. Maintains alignment for accurate, straight threading and make sure the tap thread is not damaged. Why is it important to use the correct drill size before using the tap? When using a tap to cut a thread it is important to drill the correct size hole for the particular thread that is being cut, because If the hole is drilled too large then there will be insufficient thread so that a bolt or pipe would pull out of the thread. If the hole is too small then the tap will break. How are these tools tool stored in the workshop, give reasons for this storage method? The tap wrench are in their holder and are stored in the cupboard so they are easily found, when we want to work on them. The tapes are stored in their case and stored in the cupboard so they are easily accessed and are protected from damages made by other materials What are the hazards associated with this tool and how can I use this tool safely. Taps are made of hardened steel, which provides long life and a sharp cutting surface; however, this also makes them brittle. Taps are expensive and the work piece may be priceless. Always...

...Northern Drilling Inc. Questions. Chapter 3 (External) 1. Does the industry offer attractive opportunities for growth? I believe that the industry does offer attractive opportunities for growth.Northern is a subsidiary of the worlds third largest exploration drilling contractor. In 2010 the exploration market worldwide was 10.68 billion and expected to increase. The exploration market in Canada was 1.4 Billion USD in 2010. The market is very cyclical and dependent on commodity prices yet is expected to increase over time. 2. What kinds of competitive forces are industry members facing, and how strong is each force ? Rival Sellers:The industry is highly competitive and very fragmented.Canadian industry comprised about 80 drilling contractors, including many smaller owner operators with almost no overhead costs, these owner operators drive down industry prices by operating on relatively thin gross margins. Potential New Entrants: High start up costs, not likely to be too much of a threat. Customer Bargaining Power:This is a very price sensitive industry and customers shop around for the lowest price often.Northern was struggling to be competitive in the market. Problems may be because of the price relative to some of the commodity type drillers and owner operators Competition from Substitute products/Producers: See Rival Sellers. Low switching costs for customers. Supplier Bargaining Power: Low supplier bargaining power. From the information we know there...
