Features: This book is divided into six chapters. It briefly introduces the advantages and limitations of underbalanced drilling, as well as the types of drilling fluids, gas flow rates, and the selection of compression devices. It then elaborates on the methods for determining the minimum gas volume and liquid flow rates in air, gas, mist, and unstable foam drilling operations. Finally, it discusses the application of these principles and methods to the design process and field case studies of underbalanced drilling.
