Deepwater Drilling: Well Planning, Design, Engineering, Operations, and Technology Application

Deepwater drilling is an evolving market, especially since regulations changed following the Macondo disaster. However, petroleum engineers and rig supervisors still do not have a reliable offshore-dedicated reference to better plan for offshore well construction and drilling procedures to ensure they plan for safer and more effective fit-for-purpose deepwater wells moving forward. Deepwater Drilling brings the necessary content in one location with coverage on drilling engineering and well construction through the entire life cycle process of deepwater wells. Authored by an expert with real-world experience, this reference delivers illustrations and practical examples throughout to keep engineers up to speed and relevant in today's offshore technology. Starting with pre-planning stages, the reference dives into the rig's elaborate rig and equipment systems, including ROVs and rig inspection and auditing procedures. Moving on, critical drilling guidelines are covered such as production casing, data acquisition, and well control. Rounding out, more advanced operations are covered such as managed pressure drilling, top and surface hole 'riserless' drilling, and decommissioning. Containing practical guidance and test questions, Deepwater Drilling launches a long-awaited product to today's offshore engineers and managers.
