Reading list: Horizontal Drilling Engineering - Theory, Methods and Applications
The drilling of horizontal wells presents challenges for the operators, as well as for the well planners and petroleum engineers. These challenges have resulted in new technologies and methods for exploiting more reservoirs, coupled with complex well designs. This process of extending the reach to a greater depth requires more in depth understanding of the well design. To fill the need Dr.Robello Samuel and Dr.Deli Gao have written Horizontal Drilling Engineering – Theory, Methods and Applications. This book provides the elementary coverage, details of the design, methods, well profile quantification and advanced methods and applications.

The most comprehensive book in the horizontal drilling technology provides detailed explanation on different methods along with worked out examples to students and practical drilling engineers.
Engineers will learn various methods and the basic principles on which these methods are based. - See more at: http://www.sigmaQuadrant.com.
