Author Description

<p>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, <i>Applied</i> <i>Drilling Circulation Systems: Hydraulics, Calculations and Models</i> provide users with the necessary analytical/numerical models to handle problems associated with the design and optimization of cost-effective drilling circulation systems. </p> <p>The only book which combines system modeling, design, and equipment, <i>Applied Drilling Circulation Systems: Hydraulics, Calculations and Models</i> 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.</p><br><br><ul><li>In-depth coverage of both on- and offshore drilling hydraulics.</li><li>Methods for optimizing both on- and offshore drilling hydraulics.</li><li>Contains problems and solutions based on years of experience.</li></ul>
