This book is a must for anyone wishing to increase their knowledge in any or all aspects of petroleum well engineering. Steve Devereux has obviously had a great deal of experience (almost 20 years going by the back cover) and he does well to impart much of his knowledge in these pages.
I bought this book to polish up on some aspects of well planning and drilling that I felt I was a bit rusty on. In the end however I've found myself turning to it on regular basis to help me tackle a whole host of issues.
I'd recommend this book to anyone with 5-10 years experience in the oil industry wanting to improve their all round knowledge or even someone just wishing to increase their knowledge in areas they haven't had great exposure to. It is excellently written with well chosen examples and goes into sufficient detail without being overly complicated.
A very Practical Well Planning and Drilling Manual.

Great if you work in the field

Having just recently graduated from college and currently working as a drilling rig supervisor, I found this text quite useful. It delves in some extent into EVERY aspect of drilling, from planning, casing design, interpreting drilling programs, mud properties, and trouble shooting. Anyone working in the drilling industry, particularly those in operations, will find this book useful. This book, however, is not really intended for absolute beginners. The text is worded and formatted on the assumption that you have drilling experience. This book is intended as a reference for drillers, rig supervisors, well planners, etc. In this regard, this book is very effective. I would definitely recommend it. The equations and calculations are not very detailed, and the explanations given to explain the calculations are not entirely adequate, but over all, it serves its purpose. This book will be frustrating for anyone not familiar with drilling operations. If this is the case, then you might want to check out "Drilling Technology in Non Technical Language", by the same author.
