REVIEW

A guide to fishing--correcting downhole problems in oil or gas wells--for foremen, engineers, and supervisors. Explains rotating bailers, a new family of tools that has come into use since the 1986 first edition, and such others as jars, mills, junk baskets, and mouse traps. Among the techniques discussed are wireline fishing, washover operations, and fishing in cavities and in high angle deviated and horizontal wells. The industry has yet to advise us on fishing through oil spills. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Availability: This title usually ships within 2-3 days.

Hardcover (November 1994)
Gulf Pub Co; ISBN: 088415260X ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.27 x 9.34 x 6.34

REVIEW

The book reviews classical pressure control procedures. In addition, specific situations are presented 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. Case histories are presented, analyzed, and discussed. In petroleum industry drilling operations even the most simple blowout can kill people and cost millions of dollars in equipment losses - and millions more in environmental damage and ensuing litigation. Government environmental and safety requirements demand that operating companies and drilling contractor personnel be rigorously trained in well control procedures and in responding to blowouts when they occur. Advanced Blowout and Well Control provides valuable information to help prevent blowouts and minimize their effects
