Introduction

At this site, you will find:

• Useful links on MPD

• Questions and problems per book chapter

• Answers to questions and problems per book chapter

• Conversion table and calculation sheet for problems

• Practice exams with answers for Dr. van Oort’s advanced well construction class at UT Austin, which contain many MPD elements

• Errata (corrections on book errors and typographical mistakes, clarifications and responses to comments, as well as additional information)

• Additional information to Appendix E on gas solubility

• Literature references

• Additional information about Dr. van Oort

Note that the questions, problems and answers have been left out of the book itself because of its already voluminous size. They, together with the errata, will be periodically updated with new information. I hope that you enjoy the book and the various companion materials.
