Customer Reviews

Excellent Textbook

This is an excellent book for it covers most of the aspects of drilling engineering. However, in some sense it is becoming outdated; it needs additional chapters on Novell Drilling techniques (Horizontal & Underbalanced drilling, Coiled tubing Drilling, MWD) chapter on drilling muds should go more in depth, one example of preparing drilling program and small completion chapter would be a definite assett for this book.

great reference

I have been able to pick up technical calculations and great drilling information that would have taken several years of hands on experience.

Excellent reference source for drilling engineering

This book provides a very detailed reference source for most aspects of drilling engineering. It covers everything from bit design to hydraulics to derived burst, collapse and tension equations for casing design. Diagrams and pictures are well presented and helpful in explaining some of the subject matter. The only thing that is lacking is a chapter on drilling optimization.
