Air and Gas Drilling Manual (4th Ed.) Applications for Oil, Gas, Geothermal Fluid Recovery Wells, Specialized Construction Boreholes, and the History and Advent of the Directional DTH
Auteurs : Lyons William C., Stanley James H., Sinisterra Francisco J., Weller Tom
Air and Gas Drilling Manual, Fourth Edition: Applications for Oil, Gas and Geothermal Fluid Recovery Wells, and Specialized Construction Boreholes, and the History and Advent of the Directional DTH delivers the fundamentals and current methods needed for engineers and managers engaged in drilling operations. Packed with updates, this reference discusses the engineering modelling and planning aspects of underbalanced drilling, the impacts of technological advances in high angle and horizontal drilling, and the importance of new production from shale. in addition, an in-depth discussion is included on well control model planning considerations for completions, along with detailed calculation examples using Mathcad.
This book will update the petroleum and drilling engineer with a much-needed reference to stay on top of drilling methods and new applications in today?s operations.

James Stanley is currently a Drilling Engineer, Instructor, and Training Advisor with Chevron. He has more than 35 years' worth of experience in both operating and service sectors and is recognized as a subject matter expert in well barrier design and well control requirements. He previously worked for Schlumberger, Weatherford, Crimson Energy Company LC, and Champlin Petroleum. He earned a BS in petroleum engineering from the University of Oklahoma and is active in SPE, AADE, and IADC, and issued three US patents.
Francisco Sinisterra is currently the Operations Regional Manager at QES Energy Services in charge of QES's most productive directional district, providing technical support and advising customers during directional drilling operations. He previously worked for Schlumberger, Petrobras, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Ingeniar SA, and Speery Sun Drilling Services, based in Colombia. He earned a BS in petroleum engineering from Universidad Nacional de Colombia, and Master's of Science in petroleum engineering from New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology.
