AbstractThe exploration of unconsolidated and semi-consolidated strata is generally undertaken using shell and auger and continuous flight augering techniques. These methods have serious limitations, especially when accurate sampling is required below the water table.To improve the reliability of samples British Industrial Sand Ltd. have developed a drill bit for use with reverse circulation drilling. When used in combination with a non-return valve this method allows continuous drilling and sampling both above and below the water table.Comparisons with other drilling techniques show that the duo-pipe method is capable of delivering uncontaminated samples and recovering material of all anticipated size ranges.The system could be adapted for use in the exploration of other mineral deposits e.g. alluvial tin, beach sands, sand and gravel, or for offshore drilling programmes.

The issues of the global threat seeing depletion of the main types of traditional fossil energy resources were analyzed. The data is given on the proven world reserves of these energy resources and the timing of their depletion. The theory of M.K. Hubbert on the depletion of mineral deposits is considered. The application of the theory to assess the reserves of fossil energy resources in different countries is analyzed.
