Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K Advanced Drilling Solutions: v. 1: Lessons from the FSU: Lessons From The FSU, Vol. 1

Covers historical trends and two major aspects of drilling technologies - downhole motors and oil well drilling optimization (KTW-Key Technological Wells drilling method). Using a downhole motor is more efficient, especially in hard formations. Advanced drilling studies have long been conducted in the FSU and are important in reducing drilling costs in marginal reservoirs. Contents: Preface Introduction to drilling technologies for oil and gas in Russia and the FSU Downhole motor drilling technology and applications Well drilling optimization methods in the FSU Conclusions Acronyms.
