I have found myself teaching a lot of project management classes to people in the oil industry lately, and needed a book that explained the whole process to me. This book was perfect for that purpose. It has tons of color photos and diagrams that explain the entire process of drilling for oil - both off-shore and on land.I recommend it to anyone seeking knowledge, working in the industry, or working with the industry.

This book was very helpful in educating the unwise about the basics of oil well drilling! From conception of the first drilling derrick to today's modern equipment with most everything in-between, the book covers it all. It'll provide you with a well-rounded, general knowledge of how drilling for oil takes place. Recommended!

Working the in the Oil Industry for 40 years this is the first resource I give to young people who are interested in finding a career in drilling. I have 3 and lend them out to family and friends intersted in the Oil Industry (Drilling).
