This book presents a complete review of the unique instruments and the communication technologies utilized in downhole drilling environments. These instruments and communication technologies play a critical role in drilling hydrocarbon wells safely, accurately and efficiently into a target reservoir zone by acquiring information about the surrounding geological formations as well as providing directional measurements of the wellbore. Research into instruments and communication technologies for hydrocarbon drilling has not been explored by researchers to the same extent as other fields, such as biomedical, automotive and aerospace applications. Therefore, the book serves as an opportunity for researchers to truly understand how instruments and communication technologies can be used in a downhole environment and to provide fertile ground for research and development in this area. A look ahead, discussing other technologies such as micro-electromechanical-systems (MEMS) and fourth industrial revolution technologies such as automation, the industrial internet of things (IIoT), artificial intelligence, and robotics that can potentially be used in the oil/gas industry are also presented, as well as requirements still need to be met in order to deploy them in the field.

Why write a book on restlessness? Isn't it obvious that in this present time we are experiencing a restiveness that is eating away at the heart of faith, culture, the very meaning of humanity? For that very reason it is important to focus on the difference between positive restlessness and forms of restiveness that are destructive. An insatiable restlessness is inherent in the human heart, an impulse toward fulfillment in an eternal love that exceeds human imagination and invention. Further, a marvelous restlessness pervades all that exists, all that moves toward an unknown moment when even the finest of present existence will give way to "a new heaven and a new earth." - Introduction Sister Mary Timothy Prokes, PhD, is a Franciscan Sister of the Eucharist. Her previous books include Women's Challenge: Ministry in the Flesh; Mutuality: The Human Image of Divine Love; Toward a Theology of the Body; and At the Interface: Theology and Virtual Reality. Currently, she is member of her Community's retreat team and offers elective courses at St. Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology in Indiana.
