Borehole Flow Modeling in Horizontal, Deviated, and Vertical Wells

Petroleum engineers, drilling and production professionals, and  advanced petroleum engineering students will welcome this important new  book on annular flows in oil and gas well drilling operations. It is the  only book on the subject presently available to the industry that  combines rigorous theory, practical examples, and important  applications.

The book describes several annular borehole flow  models that deal with eccentric, nonrotating flow, concentric rotating  flow, and recirculating heterogeneous flow. These models are designed to  handle the special problems that arise from drilling and producing  deviated and horizontal wells, problems such as cutting transport, stuck  pipe, cementing, and coiled tubing.
