...Such a drop, called a loss of circulation, isn't uncommon in gas drilling. It usually means that natural fractures inside the borehole are allowing drilling fluid to leak out. Lapindo's engineers responded by pumping heavy drilling mud into the well to seal the cracks and restore pressure. Then they began to pull out the drill. Davies thinks that while they were removing the drill on the morning of May 28, they set off a massive "kick," in which high-pressure water and gas from the surrounding rock flowed into, rather than out of, the borehole. To prevent...

...Panji-1 never should have gotten so out of control, according to Richard Swarbrick, a British expert on geological pressure and a consultant to oil companies. Usually, when drilling in geologically unstable areas, engineers install steel casing at greater depths, where the low density of the rock might allow fluid to escape from the borehole. In the event of a kick, the casing allows drillers to maintain the integrity of the well. Swarbrick, who has reviewed Lapindo's drilling plan, says the company originally intended to install casing at depths...

...curtailed by the death of its author on Dec. 27. But as such, it is a strangely apt memorial to an incomplete life.

...fact seen a decrease in recent years). Instead, we should bemoan the loss of childhood formlessness, that is, the loss of individualistic perception and its replacement by an adult brand of group-think, whereby a collection of facts automatically leads to a rule. Certainly, in a more child-like, fluid, and flexible society, social dynamics would be more confusing, but they would also be more free, fulfilling, and exciting...
