Oil well drilling is the process of making a hole in the earth for the purpose of finding or producing petroleum oil and/or natural gas. Drilling oil wells is a complex and specialized procedure that requires extensive planning and engineering expertise. Oil well drilling is very important to the petroleum and natural gas industry. Without the ability to drill oil wells, the industry could not produce the oil and gas needed to meet the world's energy needs. This book covers the entire process of oil well drilling, from beginning to end. It covers the basics of oil well drilling, including the different types of rigs, the equipment used, and the different phases of drilling an oil well. Students and professionals in the field of petroleum engineering and geoscience will find this book to be an invaluable resource.
