PRACTICAL WELL PLANNING AND DRILLING MANUAL

This is a very useful title providing all required guidance to the drilling engineers. The readers including practicing engineers and students have already appreciated the content of this volume and found it very practically useful since it touches every single aspect of the drilling, starting from the planning of the wells and casing design, through interpretation of the drilling diagrams and checking the properties of the drilling muds, and up to the troubleshooting procedures.

It shall be noted, however, that the book has not been designed for the absolute beginners to the drilling. The content has actually been formatted with the assumption made by the author that the readers have at least some real experience in drilling, that's why it will best suit the practicing drillers, drilling rig supervisors, well planners and other professionals. We would recommend this book to all people involved in drilling.

The explanations provided a support to the calculations are quite clear and adequate, fully serving their purpose. The division of the content is excellent and technical descriptions are easily understandable. The book will be very useful for the specialists working with the operation and willing to have some more information about the projects or refresh their technical knowledge...
