Description

Working Guide to Drilling Equipment and Operations offers a practical guide to drilling technologies and procedures.

The book begins by introducing basic concepts such as the functions of drilling muds; types of drilling fluids; testing of drilling systems; and completion and workover fluids.

This is followed by discussions of the composition of the drill string; air and gas drilling operations; and directional drilling.

The book identifies the factors that should be considered for optimized drilling operations: health, safety, and environment; production capability; and drilling implementation.

It explains how to control well pressure. It details the process of fishing, i.e. removal of a fish (part of the drill string that separates from the upper remaining portion of the drill string) or junk (small items of non-drillable metals) from the borehole.

The remaining chapters cover the different types of casing and casing string design; well cementing; the proper design of tubing; and the environmental aspects of drilling.
