This book
is the most comprehensive and complete publication written so far on
the subject of abnormal formation pressures. We recommend it to the
scientists, engineers, and technicians working in petroleum
industry. It is specially recommended to the students of geology,
geophysics, petroleum engineering, and other branches of engineering
as it makes an excellent text book that addresses research topics of
utmost importance. Knowledge of the presence of abnormally-high
pressure zones (AHFP) prior to drilling into them can prevent
considerable economic losses and, possibly, save human lives.
The various origins (undercompaction, tectonics, etc.) of AHFPs are
discussed, followed by the description of predictive techniques in
clastic, carbonate and salt-bearing formations. In addition to the
well-logging predictive techniques, the authors discuss
smectite-illite transformation and the chemistry of interstitial
solutions. Other topics covered include (a) abnormally low formation
pressures and subsidence, and (b) mathematical modelling.

| As with his 1994 book,
Advanced Blowout and Well Control, Grace offers a book that presents
tested practices and procedures for well control, all based on solid
engineering principles and his own more than 25 years of hands-on
field experience. Specific situations are reviewed along with
detailed procedures to analyze alternatives and tackle problems. The
use of fluid dynamics in well control, which the author pioneered,
is given careful treatment, along with many other topics such as
relief well operations, underground blowouts, slim hole drilling
problems, and special services such as fire fighting, capping, and
snubbing. In addition, case histories are presented, analyzed, and
discussed. Provides new techniques for blowout containment, never before published, first used in the Gulf War. Provides the most up-to-date techniques and tools for blowout and well control. New case histories include the Kuwait fires that were set by Saddam Hussein during the Gulf War. |

This book, based on the SINTEF Offshore Blowout
Database, thoroughly examines U.S. Gulf of Mexico and Norwegian and
UK North Sea blowouts that occurred from 1980 to 1994. This book
reveals the operations that were in progress at the onset of the
blowouts and helps you learn from the mistakes of others. |

| A gush of books about the BP oil disaster approaches as the investigation into its causes proceeds apace. Freudenburg and Gramling have a head start: they’ve been studying and writing about energy issues and offshore oil drilling for three decades. Drawing on their deep knowledge, they set the deadly BP blowout within a technologically precise history of oil in America, from the first primitivelyconstructed well on land to the development of offshore rigs, explaining that the Deepwater Horizon was actually a technical marvel—if only its operation hadn’t been compromised. Here is a full accounting of BP’s many previous accidents and violations—the company was the worst in the industry for its safety-sacrificing cost cutting. Freudenburg and Gramling also tell the story of the corporation’s first incarnation as the Anglo-Persian Oil Company in 1909 and how it became British Petroleum in 1954. Science, commerce, and the politics of oil are all newly illuminated here, accompanied by invaluable explanations of the risks of offshore drilling and a pragmatic look at the energy conundrums we now face. | |||

Designed as a text for those attending Minerals Management Service (MMS) certification classes. Similar to Practical Well Control, which is a text for drilling certification classes, this book covers the items required by MMS for certification. Addresses well-control training requirements of MMS 30 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 250, Subpart O for supervisors engaged in completion and workover activities in the Outer Continental Shelf of the United States. |

| In order to estimate the latent demand for rotary oil and gas field surface drilling well control equipment on a worldwide basis, I used a multi-stage approach. Before applying the approach, one needs a basic theory from which such estimates are created. In this case, I heavily rely on the use of certain basic economic assumptions. In particular, there is an assumption governing the shape and type of aggregate latent demand functions. Latent demand functions relate the income of a country, city, state, household, or individual to realized consumption. Latent demand (often realized as consumption when an industry is efficient), at any level of the value chain, takes place if an equilibrium is realized. For firms to serve a market, they must perceive a latent demand and be able to serve that demand at a minimal return. The single most important variable determining consumption, assuming latent demand exists, is income (or other financial resources at higher levels of the value chain). Other factors that can pivot or shape demand curves include external or exogenous shocks (i.e., business cycles), and or changes in utility for the product in question. | |||
Assists drilling crews with the basics of well control. This self-instruction book takes a rig hand through fundamentals beginning with pressure concepts and moving through kick warning signs and blowout prevention. Reviews the driller s and wait-and-weight methods as well as major well-control equipment to ensure a safe crew. |
