Publisher's Synopsis
Handbook of Water-Based Chemicals and Technology for Drilling, Completion, and Workover Fluids successfully delivers all the background and infrastructure required for an oil and gas engineer to exploit more water-based products that benefit the whole range of the well's life cycle. Helping to alleviate dangerous well issues such as formation damage, fluid loss control, and borehole repair, more operators demand to know the full selection of water-based products available to consistently keep a peak well performance. This must-have training book gives the compulsory coverage in the area. Key features of this book are: Know the fundamentals and functions on all water-based fluids for drilling, completion, cementing operations; Get up-to-date with the growing need for water-based fluids in hydraulic fracturing operations; and Stay accountable and know the environmental aspects and current regulations, etc.
