Air and Gas Drilling Manual by William C. Lyons Pdf

The third edition of Air and Gas Drilling Manual describes the basic simulation models for drilling deep wells with air or gas drilling fluids, gasified two-phase drilling fluids, and stable foam drilling fluids. The models are the basis for the development of a systematic method for planning under balanced deep well drilling operations and for monitoring the drilling operation as well as construction project advances. Air and Gas Drilling Manual discusses both oil and natural gas industry applications, and geotechnical (water well, environmental, mining) industry applications. Important well construction and completion issues are discussed for all applications. The engineering analyses techniques are used to develop pre-operations planning methods, troubleshooting operations monitoring techniques and overall operations risk analysis. The essential objective of the book is drilling and well construction cost management control. The book is in both SI and British Imperial units. Master the air and gas drilling techniques in construction and development of water wells, monitoring wells, geotechnical boreholes, mining operations boreholes and more 30% of all wells drilled use gas and air, according to the U.S. Department of Energy estimates Contains basic simulation equations with examples for direct and reverse circulation drilling models and examples for air and gas, gasified fluids, and stable foam drilling models

Working Guide to Drilling Equipment and Operations by William Lyons Pdf

Working Guide to Drilling Equipment and Operations offers a practical guide to drilling technologies and procedures. 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.

Minimum Volumetric Requirements in Aerated Drilling by Godwin A. Okpobiri,Carlos J. Machado,Chi U. Ikoku Pdf

This Field Operations Manual provides drilling engineers a means of making quick, graphical determinations of gas (air) and liquid volumetric requirements in air, foam, and mist drilling. A model for predicting correct air (gas) volume requirements in air drilling has been developed. It includes a complete analysis of pressures throughout the system, offers flexibility in selection of wellhead pressure and air flow rate, and is primarily graphical. Charts are presented for sandstone, shale and limestone formations. A model has also been developed for predicting minimum volumetric requirements for foam and mist drilling operations. It accounts for frictional losses due to the solid-phase, pressure drop across bit nozzles and particle settling velocities. The technique offers a high degree of flexibility in the selection of wellhead injection pressures and volumetric requirements. Actual field application of this work can be accomplished by two different methods depending on compressor specifications. These are the Variable Back pressure and Constant Back Pressure schedules. They are primarily graphical. The main advantage of these techniques over the currently practiced trial and error methods in aerated drilling is the prevention of the use of excess air (gas) and/or foamer solution while the hole is still in gauge. If these results can be realized, problems such as hole enlargement, sloughing shale, and wellbore collapse can be minimized and drilling costs will be reduced. All of the charts presented in this manual assume regular bits with nozzles of 28/32 inches each. For large bit nozzle sizes used in aerated drilling, pressure drop across such nozzles is negligible in comparison to total system losses. Thus the charts are also applicable to conditions where no nozzles are involved.

Applied Drilling Circulation Systems by Boyun Guo,,Gefei Liu Pdf

Used to clean the borehole, stabilize rock, control pressures, or enhance drilling rates, drilling fluids and their circulation systems are used in all phases of a drilling operation. These systems are highly dynamic and complicated to model until now. Written by an author with over 25 years of experience, Applied Drilling Circulation Systems: Hydraulics, Calculations and Models provide users with the necessary analytical/numerical models to handle problems associated with the design and optimization of cost-effective drilling circulation systems. The only book which combines system modeling, design, and equipment, Applied Drilling Circulation Systems: Hydraulics, Calculations and Models provides a clear and rigorous exposition of traditional and non-traditional circulation systems and equipment followed by self contained chapters concerning system modelling applications. Theories are illustrated by case studies based on the author’s real life experience. The book is accompanied by a website which permits readers to construct, validate, and run models employing Newtonian fluids, Bingham Plastic fluids, Power Law fluids, and aerated fluids principles. This combination book and website arrangement will prove particularly useful to drilling and production engineers who need to plan operations including pipe-tripping, running-in casing, and cementing. In-depth coverage of both on- and offshore drilling hydraulics. Methods for optimizing both on- and offshore drilling hydraulics. Contains problems and solutions based on years of experience.

Drilling for Water by Raymond Rowles Pdf

There have been very few, if any, books of a practical nature covering the ’art’ of drilling holes in the ground especially for water. Some rather lengthy tomes are and have been available over the years which have been pretty well incomprehensible to the average field man, or indeed, those responsible for the administration of field operations. Most of those books have been written by people with peripheral disciplines to the industry thus haven’t had the field experience to really get hold of the heart of the matter. Drilling for Water - 2 has been written to be understandable to field personnel and in their own terms. Everything in it is based on considerable field experience. Following the publication of Drilling for Water, many accolades were forthcoming such as ...packed with information... ...my bible... ...most welcome... ...a breath of fresh air... ...couldn’t put it down... etc.
