The topics combine to present the whole picture of fundamental research and industrial applications of clays and clay minerals in drilling operations, which is of general interest to researchers and engineers working in related fields. This book covers the different levels of clay science in drilling and drilling fluids, i.e., from fundamentals to the latest research results, applications, and commercial products.
Oil and gas are the primary sources of energy in human society and the foundation of the petrochemical industry. However, extracting these resources present a number of drilling challenges, including high temperature and high pressure (HTHP), offshore drilling, high angle drilling, and even horizontal drilling, among others. As a result, it is crucial to develop advanced drilling and drilling fluid technologies that speak to these challenges.
- Covers the fundamentals of clay minerals, drilling, and drilling operations
- Discusses applications of the research and science to real world problems
- Introduces available commercial clay products and recommends their use for specific situations
Undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, engineers and professionals from the fields of drilling engineering, drilling fluids, oil and gas exploitation, industrial use of clay minerals, and clay-based or clay-related materials
