The Fundamentals, Methods, and Applications of Managed Pressure Drilling

The Fundamentals, Methods, and Applications of Managed Pressure Drilling, Second Edition provides the basic infrastructure and extended support necessary for drilling engineers to apply managed pressure drilling to their operations. Enhanced with multiple new chapters and contributions from both academic and corporate authors, this reference provides engineers with the basic processes and equipment behind MPD. Other sections explain the latest technology and real-world case studies, such as how to optimize the managed pressure drilling system, how to choose the best well candidate for MPD, and how to lower costs for land-based operations. Packed with a glossary, list of standards, and a well classification system, this book is a flagship reference for drilling engineers on how to understand basics and advances in this fast-paced area of oil and gas technology. Delivers a fundamental collection on managed pressure drilling equipment, procedures and best practices Presents a balance of information from both corporate and academic markets Updated with new case studies and multiple new chapters, including how well control is different under MPD operations and MPD automation INDICE: 1.
