About the book
Description
Applied Gaseous Fluid Drilling Engineering: Design and Field Case Studies provides an introduction on the benefits of using gaseous fluid drilling engineering. In addition, the book describes the multi-phase systems needed, along with discussions on stability control. Safety and economic considerations are also included, as well as key components of surface equipment needed and how to properly select equipment depending on the type of fluid system. Rounding out with proven case studies that demonstrate good practices and lessons from failures, this book delivers a practical tool for understanding the guidelines and mitigations needed to utilize this valuable process and technology.
