This chapter presents a review of the literature
on energy efficiency of drilling operations in mineral industries. The drilling
systems, the factors effecting drilling work and the general relations between type of drilling
systems and corresponding the property of rock introduced. First, the basic
features of rock drilling and the role of drilling work in energy efficiency of
mineral industry is generally described. Then the importance of energy concept
which is usually expressed in terms of specific energy, and related approaches
as well as the related studies are reviewed. The recommendations made for the
future research directions to enhance the energy efficiency of drilling
operations in mineral industries. The papers included in the review were mainly
selected through searches in major abstract databases ofweb of science
