Drilling and well intervention engineers have a distinct challenge keeping up with a variety of different hydraulic machines and equipment from various rigs around the world. Sometimes traditional rigs are not viable, and a hydraulic rig is required. With more laterals extending out into shale, hydraulic rig units are becoming more popular also, but engineers don't have the proper tools to manage hydraulic rigs right away without obtaining training, multiple journals sources among many other pieces of literature. Hydraulic Rig Technology and Operations delivers the full spectrum of topics critical to running a hydraulic rig. Also referred to as a snubbing unit, this single product covers all the specific specialties and knowledge needed to keep production going from the history to components and equipment. Also included are the practical calculations and uses as well as drilling examples and technology used today. Supported by definitions, seal materials and shapes, and Q&A within chapters, Hydraulic Rig Technology and Operations gives drilling engineers the answers needed to effectively run and manage hydraulic rigs from anywhere in the world. Understand the full range of hydraulic machinery in drilling engineering, including basic theory, calculations, definitions, and name conventions Gain practical knowledge on day-to-day operations, troubleshooting, decision making through real-life examples included Test your knowledge with the Q&A quizzes included within chapters.
