Description
Drilling engineering is one of the oldest technologies on earth. The technological advancement in this area is well recognized by the scientists, engineers and researchers in the petroleum and natural gas industries. Most importantly, the underground hydrocarbon extraction industry is the blood vessel of modern civilization. The technological advancements and understanding of the fundamentals of drilling engineering is the key to achieving sustainability in this seemingly unsustainable industry. Unfortunately, there are very few books that explain sustainable drilling operations within the context of the basic fundamentals of drilling engineering. This book explains how the drilling technology can be operated in a sustainable fashion. The book also takes care of the fundamental issues mainly for the beginners who are interested in learning drilling engineering.
