Synopsis

The third edition of Air and Gas Drilling describes the basic simulation models for drilling deep wells with air or gas drilling fluids, gasified two-phase drilling fluids, and stable foam drilling fluids. The models are the basis for the development of a systematic method for planning under balanced deep well drilling operations and for monitoring the drilling operation as well as construction project advances. Air and Gas Drilling discusses both oil and natural gas industry applications, and geotechnical (water well, environmental, mining) industry applications. Important well construction and completion issues are discussed for all applications. The engineering analyses techniques are used to develop pre-operations planning methods, troubleshooting operations monitoring techniques and overall operations risk analysis. The essential objective of the book is drilling and well construction cost management control. The book is in both SI and British Imperial units.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Be the one with the know-how in drilling's hottest trend Air and Gas Drilling Manual Develop expertise in the technology that's the fastest-growing in the drilling industry. By 2005, 30% of all wells will be drilled using gas and air, according to a U.S. Department of Energy estimate. This comprehensive guide, written by an internationally known expert and holder of nine drilling patents, lays out absolutely everything you need to design and apply air and gas drilling to all kinds of operations, from the most basic to the most complex, and for the shallowest to the deepest. The Air and Gas Drilling Manual shows you how to: Master the air and gas drilling techniques in vital industries: construction and development of water wells, monitoring wells, geotechnical boreholes, mining operations boreholes, and more. Calculate volumetric flow and compressor requirements. Drill with stable foam, unstable foam, and aerated liquids (as well as gas and air). Handle the special considerations of deep hole drilling. Perform direct and reverse-flow circulation calculations. Specify drills, collars, and casings. Engineer and operate specialized downhole projects Plan operations and choose air package contractors. Typical air packages utilized. Whether you’re a geologist, environmentalist, or a petroleum, mining, drilling, groundwater, or other engineer, this definitive, applications-based resource is poised to increase your expertise in this critical new area of drilling technology.
