This comprehensive text provides a thorough overview of the many complex issues involved with the drill string. While the drill string may seem to be a simple connection of metal pipes at first glance, it is in reality an intricate, potentially delicate piece of equipment of vital importance to the drilling industry. This text provides dozens of charts, drawing, and formulas to aid in the understanding and use of drill strings and their related technologies. From what parts make up the drill string to how to properly construct a working string, this informative manual explains it all in a simple, easy-to-understand (but not dumbed down) format. A must for any drilling professional in the field or in the office.
