    <abstract language="eng">The demand for oil and gas is increasing at a far greater rate than ever before.
Geologists across the globe are in search of new reserves. Some of them are easily exploitable
some are not. One major problem that we come across in Petroleum industry is Hard
formations encountering the successful drilling operation. Drilling through hard
formations is time consuming and uneconomical at times. As far as the petroleum industry
is concerned time equals money and operations have to be time bound. Here we presented
a new technique namely Multiple Control Micro Detonation that can be used to drill
through hard rock formations. Multiple Control Micro Detonation (MCMD) will help us
to drill through hard rock formations in an effective and time saving manner with
minimum expenditure. As for now we have many techniques to drill through hard rock
formations, but their effectiveness in terms of money and time is not appreciable and till
day hard rock formations are a nightmare for any Drilling Engineer or any Petroleum
Engineer. MCMD is very effective and efficient technique when executed with care, precise
calculations and also with the help of accurate Geological data. Geological data about
proves to be a vital element in the successful completion of this technique at any location.
Multiple Control Micro Detonation is a self innovated unconventional drilling technique.
As the name suggests this technique uses the power of an controlled explosion or micro
detonations to drill through hard formations. Here we use detonators in a controlled
manner to make the formation loose. Once the formation becomes loose it can be drilled
easily. This paper contains all technical aspects of Multiple Control Micro Detonation
.This paper also include Mathematical proofs and calculations involved in this technique.
The Mathematical proof given in this paper is a clear evidence of how well this technique
can be implemented. This technique can be effectively applied for formation ranging
from Medium Hard, Hard, Very Hard and even in Granite formations. Proper and well
calculated implementation of MCMD we can counter any kind of hard formation without
compromising the economic and safety aspects. Thus this technique will help us to
overcome a major problem our Petroleum industry faces, and will contribute in solving
the oil crisis the World is facing now.</abstract>
