This completely revised and updated fourth edition is a must for drillers, toolpushers, company representatives, or anyone who requires intermediate and advanced knowledge of well-control techniques and equipment. Designed to be a definitive reference for well-control procedures, it is often used as a text for those attending well-control certification classes. It is now updated to support the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC) WellCAP accredited training programs. Also contains appendixes that include H2S procedures, capacity tables, formulas used in well-control calculations, and cross references to MMS regulations and the WellCAP curriculum.

Universal Well Control gives today's drilling and production engineers a modern guide to effectively and responsibly manage rig operations. In a post-Macondo industry, well control continues to require higher drilling costs, a waste of natural resources, and the possibility of a loss of human life when kicks and blowouts occur. The book delivers updated photos, practice examples and methods that are critical to modern well control information, ensuring engineers and personnel stay safe, environmentally responsible and effective. Complete with all phases of well control, the book covers kick detection, kick control, loss of control and blowout containment and killing. A quick tips section is included, along with templated. step-by-step methods to replicate for non-routine shut-in methods. Bonus equipment animations are included, along with a high number of visuals. Specialized methods are covered, including dual gradient drilling and managed pressure drilling. - Provides a practical training guide that is focused on well control, including expanded subsea coverage - Includes well kill procedures, with added kill sheets and bonus video equipment animations - Helps readers understand templated steps for non-routine shut-in methods, such as the lubricate and bleed method and variable mud volume

On January 24, 1991, Minerals Management Service (MMS) issued 30 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 250, Subpart O -- Training, which, among other things, laid out well-control training requirements for supervisors engaged in completion and workover activities in the Outer Continental Shelf of the United States. Well Control for Completion and Workover is designed as a text for those attending MMS certification classes. Similar to Practical Well Control, which is a text for drilling certification classes, Well Control for Completion and Workover covers the items required by MMS for certification, as well as additional material that is useful for supervisors to know.

Annotation This new Handbook is designed to give a complete, comprehensive overview of field development and well production, providing a wealth of practical information. It is intended as a reference guide for petroleum engineers and oilfield operators, yet also provides readily-available solutions to practical problems. The user will find the guidelines, recommendations, formulas and charts currently in use, as it covers most of the cases encountered in the field. Even when a problem has been contracted out to a service company, reference to this handbook will help the oilfield manager to better monitor outsourced work and current operations. The handbook also introduces the new techniques of well production (horizontal and multilateral wells, heavy oil production, etc.). Many examples are given throughout to facilitate the use of the formulas. Also, measurements are frequently expressed in both metric and U.S. units. The symbols used for these units conform to the recommendations of the SPE Board of Directors. This publication will therefore serve both as a guide and as a handbook, in which the operator will find answers to his questions, along with quick and easy solutions to most of the problems that occur in field development. Contents: General data. Casing and tubing. Coiled tubing. Packers. Pressure losses. Fundamentals of petroleum reservoirs. Well productivity. Formation damage control. Sand control. Stimulation. Horizontal and multilateral wells. Water management. Heavy oil production, Enhanced oil recovery. Artificial lift. Beam pumping and other reciprocating rod pumps. Gas lift. Electric submersible pumps. Progressing cavity pumps. Hydraulic pumping. multiphase pumping and metering. Deposit treatment. Well servicing. Cased hole logging and imaging. Financial formulas for investment decisions. List of standards for petroleum production. Glossary. Index.

Well-control is one of the important subjects that personnel in drilling should know. The book is an interactive book containing 25 questions related to well control calculations covered from the basic to some calculations. Additionally, this content is based on both IWCF and IADC well control. Each question contains 3 possible answers. If learners select the right one, they will allow going to the next question. What's more, each question will have full explanations. As a minimum, you will need a pen or pencil, paper, well control formula, and a calculator.

Once a natural gas or oil well is drilled, and it has been verified that commercially viable, it must be "completed" to allow for the flow of petroleum or natural gas out of the formation and up to the surface. This process includes: casing, pressure and temperature evaluation, and the proper instillation of equipment to ensure an efficient flow out of the well. In recent years, these processes have been greatly enhanced by new technologies. Advanced Well Completion Engineering summarizes and explains these advances while providing expert advice for deploying these new breakthrough engineering systems. The book has two themes: one, the idea of preventing damage, and preventing formation from drilling into an oil formation to putting the well introduction stage; and two, the utilization of nodal system analysis method, which optimizes the pressure distribution from reservoir to well head, and plays the sensitivity analysis to design the tubing diameters first and then the production casing size, so as to achieve whole system optimization. With this book, drilling and production engineers should be able to improve operational efficiency by applying the latest state of the art technology in all facets of well completion during development drilling-completion and work over operations. - One of the only books devoted to the key technologies for all major aspects of advanced well completion activities. - Unique coverage of all aspects of well completion activities based on 25 years in the exploration, production and completion industry. - Matchless in-depth technical advice for achieving operational excellence with advance solutions.

A Practical Handbook for Drilling Fluids Processing delivers a much-needed reference for drilling fluid and mud engineers to safely understand how the drilling fluid processing operation affects the drilling process. Agitation and blending of new additions to the surface system are explained with each piece of drilled solids removal equipment discussed in detail. Several calculations of drilled solids, such as effect of retort volumes, are included, along with multiple field methods, such as determining the drilled solids density. Tank arrangements are covered as well as operating guidelines for the surface system. Rounding out with a solutions chapter with additional instruction and an appendix with equation derivations, this book gives today's drilling fluid engineers a tool to understand the technology available and step-by-step guidelines of how-to safety evaluate surface systems in the oil and gas fields. Presents practical guidance from real example problems that are encountered on drilling rigs Helps readers understand multiple field methods and drilled solids calculations with the help of practice questions Gives readers what they need to master each piece of drilling fluid processing equipment, including mud cleaners and safe mud tank arrangements

An application-oriented approach to process control. The reference text systematically explains process identification, control and optimization, the three key steps needed to solve a multivariable control problem. Theory is discussed as far as it is needed to understand and solve the defined problem, while numerous examples written in MATLAB illustrate the problem-solving approach.
