yup yup yup let's just say I've always observed this as someone who's happy to have a boyfriend who's quite qifted anon is so right. not to get tmi but when we do switch my earth fuckin turns upside down so yeah. I can always tell when they have just by a certain glint in dan's eyes lmao

REAL AS FUCKKKKK REAL AS FUCK!! first of all i am so elated for you congratulations and second of all: no because like i do think very fondly about the days where everyone (guilty as charged) thought dan was bottoming all of the time because Jesus Christ give his poor ass a break 😭 especially in the original "Phil has a big dick" controversy era of Interactive Introverts which might have been a unique experience i have no idea if anybody was actually discoursing about this at the time or if my friends were just having a weird weekend ANYWAY like. Yeah. versatility is beautiful ❤️ Phil was not the only one obliterating anyone's anything in '09- Also okay should i stop using that verbiage? because I think it's really funny but I have directly talked verbatim about Dan getting his "twink hole" obliterated way too many times in the last 72 hours just. it's really difficult running a phandom blog in 2024 okay. whatever. hole obliteration is beautiful ❤️

bonus: enjoy this Google search i made trying to make a joke here before realizing it was too complicated and had concerning anatomical implications

Caving went great! It was so much fun to rappel down and immediately get a glimpse of fantastic (if often broken) features. The rest of the cave was more fault-based and maze-like. Most of our time was spent moving diagonally on fault scarp clay (slipperiest shit I have EVER been on) and rappelling out (possibly the hardest climb up a fault scarp I have ever made lol).

Bottom left pic was taken three inches away on my belly in the entrance crawlspace. I was so happy to see little active formations so close.

The Mountain Goats should write more songs about geology. Listening to The Destruction of the Kola Superdeep Borehole Tower is not helping me study for my midterm.

30a?

Thanks!!

30: A song that reminds you of yourself

This is such a difficult question sdsfj there are lots of songs that express some feelings or phenomena I can relate to but Idk if they remind me of myself...

Also artists tend to, just by the nature of music as a career, live more eventful lives than mine. But also there's always this assumption that music (especially certain genres) is autobiographical instead of metaphorical and if you put some of yourself into your interpretation you're speaking over the artist. I don't think that's universally true but it's the kind of thing I'm neurotic about.

Anyways. The Destruction of The Kola Superdeep Borehole Tower

what is sad trombone babycrimes?

For the wip title ask meme

sad trombone babycrimes is a mostly-outlined little...thing... that is basically just about WSH/OSHA in the gffa. or, rather, about WSH/OSHA violations in the gffa, as experienced by baby-wan, and then how those impact his experience of the early clone wars

General Kenobi is a stickler for the strangest things; the man's happy to rig ordnance form damn near anything that can explode and a dozen things Cody would have sworn blind couldn't, at least in the field, without access to a hell of a lot more specialised equipment than they have on whatever new hellhole they're stationed on that month, but even the slightest suggestion of reusing a borehole and the man damn near court martials the whole platoon.

He hadn't, which is why Cody hasn't actually arranged for a convenient accident, but still. It's a borehole; the whole reason they can reuse it is that it is, by definition, nonfunctional; drilling new ones like Kenobi wants will add another hour to the timeline, which is an hour they could use doing things like literally anything else.

I'm gonna wind up learning CSS entirely against my will because my fucking 'send this shit to the shadow realm I don't want it' skin is NOT blocking a thing I need to kill

my kingdom for a native site blocklist that did not involve learning to code I am too stupid for this

The Role of Geology in Borehole Drilling Success

Borehole drilling is a vital process that plays a meaningful role in various industries, from water resource management to mineral exploration and geothermal energy production. While the success of borehole drilling depends on a combination of factors, one of the most critical elements is the geology of the site. Geology, the study of the Earth's structure and composition, is instrumental in determining where and how deep to drill, what types of materials to expect, and what challenges may arise during the drilling process. In this blog, we will discover the pivotal role of geology in borehole drilling in Pretoria.

Understanding Site Selection

Choosing the right location for borehole drilling is the first and arguably the most essential step in the process. Geology plays a central role in this decision. Geological surveys and investigations help determine areas with the prospect for the desired resources, whether it's groundwater, oil, natural gas, minerals, or geothermal energy.

Geologists employ various tools and techniques to assess the geological conditions at a potential drilling site. They study surface geology, subsurface rock shapes, fault lines, and other geological features. By comprehending the geology of the area, they can decide whether the site is ideal for drilling and what obstacles or challenges may be encountered.

Geological Mapping

Geological mapping is an essential aspect of borehole drilling preparation. Geologists create intricate maps that illustrate the subsurface geology of an area. These maps can show the allocation of different rock types, fault lines, and other geological features that may impact drilling operations. This information is invaluable for drilling engineers and contractors, helping them plan the drilling process effectively.

In addition to identifying potential challenges, geological maps also provide insight into the location of valuable resources. For example, geological mapping can help trace aquifers for groundwater extraction or identify areas with rich mineral deposits.

Depth and Target Zones

The depth at which a borehole should be drilled is a vital concern that directly relies on the geology of the site. Geologists use their knowledge of subsurface rock formations and geophysical data to specify the optimal depth for borehole drilling in Gauteng. This is particularly critical when drilling for groundwater or oil and gas reservoirs.

Different geological formations may carry water or hydrocarbons at varying depths, and a comprehensive understanding of the geology is essential for targeting the right zones. Drilling to the correct depth can significantly increase the chances of success and reduce the cost of drilling operations.

Material Composition

Geologists also provide vital information about the composition of the materials encountered during drilling. Knowing the type of rocks, sediments, and soils that are encountered as the borehole progresses is essential for choosing the right drilling equipment and techniques. 

For example, drilling through hard rock formations requires different tools and methods compared to borehole drilling in Gauteng through soft sediments.

Furthermore, the material composition can impact the stability of the borehole and the potential for caving or collapse. Geologists can help identify areas where additional support or casing may be necessary to ensure the safety and integrity of the borehole.

Avoiding Hazards

Geological knowledge is crucial for identifying potential hazards during borehole drilling in Pretoria. Some geological features, such as fault lines or unstable rock formations, can pose significant risks to drilling operations. Without a thorough understanding of the geology, a borehole may inadvertently intersect a fault, leading to unexpected complications or even catastrophic failure.

By carefully analyzing the geological data, geologists can help drilling teams avoid such hazards and plan their operations to minimize risks. This not only ensures the safety of personnel but also protects the investment in drilling equipment and resources.

Environmental Impact Assessment

Geologists also play a vital function in performing environmental impact appraisals for borehole drilling projects. They evaluate the potential impact of drilling operations on groundwater quality, land stability, and ecosystem health.

Understanding the geology of the area is essential for evaluating how drilling may affect local aquifers, wetlands, and ecosystems. Geologists can suggest mitigation measures to minimize the environmental impact of drilling, such as the use of protective casing to prevent contamination of groundwater sources.

Cost Efficiency

Lastly, geology plays a significant role in the cost efficiency of borehole drilling projects. When geologists provide accurate and detailed information about the subsurface geology, drilling operations can be planned more effectively. It reduces the risk of unexpected delays, equipment damage, or excessive drilling depth, all of which can drive up costs.

By optimizing the drilling process through geological insights, project managers can ensure that resources are allocated efficiently and that the project remains within budget. This is particularly important in industries like oil and gas extraction, where drilling costs can be substantial.

In conclusion, geology is a fundamental factor in the success of borehole drilling operations. It guides site selection, determines drilling depth and target zones, provides insight into material composition, helps avoid hazards, assesses environmental impact, and enhances cost efficiency. Without a comprehensive understanding of the geology of the area, borehole drilling projects are more likely to face challenges, unexpected complications, and increased costs. Therefore, the collaboration between geologists and drilling professionals is indispensable for achieving success in borehole drilling projects across various industries.
