The book begins by introducing basic concepts such as the functions of drilling muds; types of drilling fluids; testing of drilling systems; and completion and workover fluids. This is followed by discussions of the composition of the drill string; air and gas drilling operations; and directional drilling. The book identifies the factors that should be considered for optimized drilling operations: health, safety, and environment; production capability; and drilling implementation. It explains how to control well pressure. It details the process of fishing, i.e. removal of a fish (part of the drill string that separates from the upper remaining portion of the drill string) or junk (small items of non-drillable metals) from the borehole. The remaining chapters cover the different types of casing and casing string design; well cementing; the proper design of tubing; and the environmental aspects of drilling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Lyons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1856178439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781856178433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gulf Professional Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.10d","brand":"William Lyons","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46767209971967,"sku":"9781856178433","price":116.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8d68648c-4675-49be-af06-e583fa657828.jpg?v=1744169153","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/working-guide-to-drilling-equipment-william-lyons-9781856178433","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
