Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
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.<br> 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.

Detailsand theory behind procedures are discussed in an easy to understand way. Explanation of drilling rig equipment and procedures provide the fundamentals necessary te begin a career in drilling operations or engineering, or for cross-training team efforts. This includes: basic knowledge of the intricacies of drilling fluid; drilled solids management; drill bits; drill string design; directional drilling; cementing; casing; hydraulic optimization; and a discussion of predominant problems such as stuck pipe and lost circulation.
