Description

Drilling and production operations are continuing to evolve in technology and engineering challenges, especially due to more unconventional oil and gas field development yet too many answers are scattered throughout various journals and societies. Petroleum Rock Mechanics, Second Edition keeps petroleum and drilling engineers centrally focused on the basic fundamentals around geomechanics while getting them up to speed on the latest issues and practical problems they will face on day one. Updated with new chapters on today’s operations surrounding shale oil, shale gas, and hydraulic fracturing, engineers can also find updates on in-situ stress, drilling design of optimal mud weight, and wellbore instability analysis. Creating a link between theory with practical problems, Petroleum Rock Mechanics, Second Edition continues to provide the most recent research as well as fundamentals critical to today’s drilling operations.

Key Features

  • Grasp understanding and techniques to analyze and solve drilling challenges, in particular wellbore instability analysis
  • Stay grounded on rock mechanic fundamentals while learning new concepts around sand production and hydraulic fracturing operations
  • Gain practicality from new case studies and example problems to practice

Readership

Petroleum engineers; drilling engineers; production engineers; geomechanical engineers; graduate level petroleum engineering students
