Well Control Problems and Solutions

The book presents well planning procedures for problem wells. These include fracture gradients; how and why to set casing at certain depths; casing design to control kicks, stuck pipe, and lost circulation, and abnormal presure detection. An expanded version of the first manual approved by the United States Geological Survey, the book is complete with tables, charts, graphs, and an extensive section on hydrogen sulfide drilling. Most importantly, Well Control Problems and Solutions is written by a man who has been there - who had "to do it when it counted."
