Petroleum Rock Mechanics: Drilling Operations and Well Design

Petroleum Rock Mechanics, Second Edition: Drilling Operations and Well Design keeps petroleum and drilling engineers centrally focused on the basic fundamentals surrounding geomechanics, while also keeping them up-to-speed on the latest issues and practical problems. Updated with new chapters on operations surrounding shale oil, shale gas, and hydraulic fracturing, and with new sections on in-situ stress, drilling design of optimal mud weight, and wellbore instability analysis, this book is an ideal resource. By creating a link between theory with practical problems, this updated edition continues to provide the most recent research and fundamentals critical to today's drilling operations. Helps readers grasp the techniques needed to analyze and solve drilling challenges, in particular wellbore instability analysisTeaches rock mechanic fundamentals and presents new concepts surrounding sand production and hydraulic fracturing operationsIncludes new case studies and sample problems to practice INDICE: Part 1: Fundamentals of Solid Mechanics 1.
