Drilling Mechanics: Advanced Applications and Technology (MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Master the principles and practices of modern drilling mechanics

This in-depth guide offers complete coverage of drilling mechanics with a focus on the horizontal drilling of shale plays and offshore wells. The book lays out drilling engineering fundamentals and clearly explains the latest technological developments. Written by a team of seasoned educators, Drilling Engineering: Advanced Applications and Technology covers every key topic, including geo-mechanics for drilling applications, well construction techniques, wellbore hydraulics, and optimization. You will enhance your understanding of drilling operations, improve your designs, and plan for more productive and cost-effective wells.

Coverage includes:

• Well construction and hydraulics
• Drillstring mechanics and casing design
• Drilling hydraulics
