5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent reference source for drilling engineering,
By A Customer
This review is from: Applied Drilling Engineering (Spe Textbook Series, Vol 2) (Paperback)
This book provides a very detailed reference source for most aspects of drilling engineering. It covers everything from bit design to hydraulics to derived burst, collapse and tension equations for casing design. Diagrams and pictures are well presented and helpful in explaining some of the subject matter. The only thing that is lacking is a chapter on drilling optimization.

Excellent Textbook,
By Nikola Jelovac (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Applied Drilling Engineering (Spe Textbook Series, Vol 2) (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for it covers most of the aspects of drilling engineering. However, in some sense it is becoming outdated; it needs additional chapters on Novell Drilling techniques (Horizontal & Underbalanced drilling, Coiled tubing Drilling, MWD) chapter on drilling muds should go more in depth, one example of preparing drilling program and small completion chapter would be a definite assett for this book.

Sub-Par Book to LEARN from,
By
This review is from: Applied Drilling Engineering (Spe Textbook Series, Vol 2) (Paperback)
Used this textbook for a graduate course in 2009. That said, it's INCREDIBLY outdated. While very comprehensive and full of useful information, from a learning perspective, it's not very good. Examples are one of the major problems with this book. There are no labels for units during many of the example calculations and mysterious conversions pop up fairly regularly. The layout is frustrating as well, as many of the images, diagrams, charts referenced aren't on the same page as the written descriptions. You're better of buying a more up to date book. There's tons of them so you can't go wrong.
