Robert Grace, President of GSM, Inc., a successful consulting firm in the oil industry.
Description
As with his 1994 book,
Advanced Blowout and Well Control, Grace offers a book that presents tested practices and procedures
for well control, all based on solid engineering principles and his own more than 25 years of hands-on field experience. Specific situations
are reviewed along with detailed procedures to analyze alternatives and tackle problems. The use of fluid dynamics in well control, which
the author pioneered, is given careful treatment, along with many other topics such as relief well operations, underground blowouts,
slim hole drilling problems, and special services such as fire fighting, capping, and snubbing. In addition, case histories are presented,
analyzed, and discussed.
Audience:
