academic basics. It also sums up the experience of handling unconventional and unforeseenย
problems related with well-bore instability with the right composition of mud to facilitate correctย
properties in drilling fluid design, and thus minimize/eliminate non-productive time. If the book isย
able to fulfil any / all of these objectives, then the purpose of writing the book is served. It aims toย
reach out to petroleum engineering students and those mud engineers who have just begun theirย
career in oil field, with many questions wandering in their minds, and aims to answer them in aย
manner that makes sense to their limited exposure with the least technical jargon but yet,ย
effectively quench their thirst of inquisitiveness. For the professionals who aspire to climb theย
ladders of success to reach the corporate jungle, the book cautions them that what appears costlyย
superficially need not be always costly and thus spend enough money to have a right team ofย
professionals surrounding them and not the guys who will always agree to them for the fear of lossย
of their job."
ย "Dr. Milap, born to a teacher, has inherited the basic traits of learningย
and sharing as a legacy. Te book is an outcome of these values. Havingย
spent 37 years and encountered several situations which warranted anย
innovative approach towards arriving at solutions, the author has amalgamated his passion of subject and strong desire to give back to mudย
engineering fraternity whatever he learnt.ย
Te ability of Dr. Milap to adapt and deliver solutions is boosted by hisย
diversity in exposure to all major types of drilling environment as wellย
as drilling ๏ฌuid systems. A widely travelled professional who has the distinction of working with all types of nationalities without any con๏ฌict,ย
is a testimony of the maturity as well as ๏ฌexibility in personality.ย
A sport-lover by nature and a marathon runner, has always drawn inspiration to do its bit for the under-privileged sections of the society byย
raising funds in conjunction with NGOs.ย
Tis is an initiative of the frm M/S Knnamp Enterprise, owned andย
managed by author to provide consultancy services in drilling ๏ฌuidsย
engineering discipline of oil/gas drilling. Te book represents the spiritย
of sharing, learning and growing together."
