A Primer of Oilwell Drilling: A Basic Text of Oil and Gas Drilling

'Although drilling technology continues to evolve the purpose of this book has remained the same: to clearly explain drilling to nontechnical readers. The book also includes sections on the history of the petroleum industry as well as the evolution of the science and art of drilling. Anyone with an interest in the oil and gas business in general and drilling in particular will find this a useful first reader on the subject.'
