Well Written Explanation of the Nature and Technology of the Beast Jul 13, 2010
By DCop
This is by far one of the best presentations of the technology of oilwell blowout control. The first chapters present the classic subjects such as the Driller's method and the Weight and Wait method. Later chapters cover more of the current techniques for well control. Each chapter is strucutred to first go through the steps of a method and immediately following with a detail discussion of each step and the consequences of errors in actions and assumptions. All the required calculation methods are provided and presented in refreshing clarity. The last chapter of the book provides a really interesting history of the Kuwait well control efforts. The entire contents of the book assume the reader does have some knowledge of the nomenclature of the BOP stack and the control system. However, the terminology is not overwhelming. The best chapter in the book is the case study toward the end of the book. The author puts everything together that is covered in the previous chapters to resonate ideas and concepts. The one thing that will probably make this a classic is the "turn of events" in this chapter. It reads just like a mystery novel and this writer will not spoil the ending.
