M.E. Hossain is a professor at Nazarbayev University, Kazakhstan, where he is in charge of starting a new program in petroleum engineering. Previously, he was Canada′s first Statoil Chair at Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN), Canada. Dr. Hossain authored/co–authored nearly 200 research articles, including seven books, focusing on reservoir characterization, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), drilling engineeering and environmental sustainability.
M. Rafiq Islam is the President of Emertec R&D Ltd. and an adjunct professor at Dalhousie University, where he was Canada′s first Killam Chair in Oil and Gas. He has over 30 years of experience in teaching and research, during which time he has supervised over 150 graduate and undergraduate students and postdoctoral fellows and completed over $20 million of funded research. During his career, he has published nearly 800 research papers and dozens of books and research monographs on topics ranging from petroleum engineering to economics. He is the founding executive editor of Journal of Nature Science and Journal of Characterization and Development of Novel Materials, and serves on the editorial board of a number of journals. Previously, he held editorial positions with SPE, AIChEJ, JCPT, JPSE, and others.
Completely up to date and the most thorough and comprehensive reference work and learning tool available for drilling engineering, this groundbreaking volume is a must–have for anyone who works in drilling in the oil and gas sector.
Petroleum and natural gas still remain the single biggest resource for energy on earth. Even as alternative and renewable sources are developed, petroleum and natural gas continue to be, by far, the most used and, if engineered properly, the most cost–effective and efficient, source of energy on the planet. Drilling engineering is one of the most important links in the energy chain, being, after all, the science of getting the resources out of the ground for processing. Without drilling engineering, there would be no gasoline, jet fuel, and the myriad of other "have to have" products that people use all over the world every day.
Following up on their previous books, also available from Wiley–Scrivener, the authors, two of the most well–respected, prolific, and progressive drilling engineers in the industry, offer this groundbreaking volume. They cover the basic tenets of drilling engineering, the most common problems that the drilling engineer faces day to day, and cutting–edge new technology and processes through their unique lens. Written to reflect the new, changing world that we live in, this fascinating new volume offers a treasure of knowledge for the veteran engineer, new hire, or student.
This book is an excellent resource for petroleum engineering students, reservoir engineers, supervisors & managers, researchers and environmental engineers for planning every aspect of rig operations in the most sustainable, environmentally responsible manner, using the most up–to–date technological advancements in equipment and processes.
This groundbreaking new volume:
- Covers the basic concepts of drilling engineering, such as cementing, wellbore instability, and drilling
- Presents the most common problems faced by the drilling engineer and their solutions
- Presents cutting–edge new ideas for sustainable drilling operations for industry use, such as directional drilling and environmental issues
- A must–have resource for any engineer, manager, or student working in upstream operations in the petroleum and natural gas industries
