Hydromechanical processes underlie the majority of technology operations in drilling, and present a crucial concern as the pace and depth of drilling increases in today’s energy-hungry world. Applied Hydroaeromechanics in Oil and Gas Drilling offers a unique resource for properly modeling and understanding the hydrodynamic forces affecting a drilling site. Combining hydrodynamic theory with specific drilling applications, this coverage provides readers with a comprehensive reference for designing, planning, and optimizing drilling operations.
