Formulas and Calculations for Drilling, Production, and Workover, Third Edition: All the Formulas You Need to Solve Drilling and Production Problems Description
A quick reference for day-to-day work out on the rig or a handy study guide for drilling and well control certification courses, Formulas and Calculations for Drilling, Production and Workover has served a generation of oilfield professionals throughout their careers. Compact and readable, Formulas and Calculations for Drilling, Production and Workover, 3rd Edition is a problem solving time saving tool for the most basic or complex predicaments encountered in the field. All formulas and calculations are presented in easy-to-use, step-by-step order, virtually all the mathematics required out on the drilling rig is here in one convenient source, including formulas for pressure gradient, specific gravity, pump output, annular velocity, buoyancy factor, volume and stroke, slug weight, drill string design, cementing, depth of washout, bulk density of cuttings, and stuck pipe.
The most complete manual of its kind, Formulas and Calculations for Drilling, Production and Workover, 3rd Edition features 30% new information, including case studies and basis simulations equations. The third edition of this best selling book also includes computational tools and techniques for: unbalanced drilling, horizontal directional and air and gas drilling operations, evaluate ESP performance of wells, design / redesign ESP and recommend changes to improve well's operation, handle special production projects including production string designs for new wells, evaluation of new production methods, scaling in well bores and any other project affecting the operation of Amal area wells.
- Back-of-the envelope calculations that save time and money

This book is an excellent reference source for oil field personnel. What it has going for it is the sheer volume of information and formulas in it, the simplicity of that information in how it is laid out, organized and given to you and the convenience of it. I think what is inside the book is top notch, but the quality of the book itself suffers some because it seems a little cheap and like it will fall apart easily out in the field unless you are extremely careful with it and it only goes from your clean dainty hands to your bag or briefcase. Even just laminating the cover would have added protection and sturdiness to it. I also would have preferred a section where I could add some of my own notes.

Used as a primary or a secondary reference source by oil field personnel, this compact book contains tons of formulas and calculations that are needed on the field for drilling and other engineering endeavour. Touted as a handy reference for "non-math" users (those who don't run the detailed calculations on a daily basis), the new edition contains additional formulas and calculations, Volumetric Procedure, Lubricate and Bleed Procedure, and stripping procedure.
Designed to condense much-used formulas and calculations that one would otherwise need to retrieve from armful of books, this spiral-bound version reminds me of the formulas and calculations books I used in college for my math and chemistry classes. All the necessary math and formulas that one may encounter in the field are right here. Several useful appendices and an index to go along with this nifty little publication.
One note of dissatisfaction - the text is printed on thin, non-glossy papers. Given this is a book designed to serve field oil workers, a heavier coated stock of paper will probably make the book last longer and cleaner. Plastic coated pages will even be better. Another reviewer has mentioned the same point. It's worth noting since this is not a book designed for "classroom" use but, rather, for the rough-and-tough oil fields.
