Page 421 Formula #15-27 Formula #15-27b (?) originally published by Joshi are WRONG! A book that costs more than US$300 should at least be checked for correct equations!

This review is from: Petroleum Well Construction (Hardcover)

Excellent in-depth treatment of core processes involved in modern well construction ... these processes are examined theoretically and pragmatically ... and each topic is extensively documented ... very complete and compressed without losing detail ... a great work!
