academic basics. It also sums up the experience of handling unconventional and unforeseen┬а
problems related with well-bore instability with the right composition of mud to facilitate correct┬а
properties in drilling fluid design, and thus minimize/eliminate non-productive time. If the book is┬а
able to fulfil any / all of these objectives, then the purpose of writing the book is served. It aims to┬а
reach out to petroleum engineering students and those mud engineers who have just begun their┬а
career in oil field, with many questions wandering in their minds, and aims to answer them in a┬а
manner that makes sense to their limited exposure with the least technical jargon but yet,┬а
effectively quench their thirst of inquisitiveness. For the professionals who aspire to climb the┬а
ladders of success to reach the corporate jungle, the book cautions them that what appears costly┬а
superficially need not be always costly and thus spend enough money to have a right team of┬а
professionals surrounding them and not the guys who will always agree to them for the fear of loss┬а
of their job."
┬а"Dr. Milap, born to a teacher, has inherited the basic traits of learning┬а
and sharing as a legacy. Te book is an outcome of these values. Having┬а
spent 37 years and encountered several situations which warranted an┬а
innovative approach towards arriving at solutions, the author has amalgamated his passion of subject and strong desire to give back to mud┬а
engineering fraternity whatever he learnt.┬а
Te ability of Dr. Milap to adapt and deliver solutions is boosted by his┬а
diversity in exposure to all major types of drilling environment as well┬а
as drilling ямВuid systems. A widely travelled professional who has the distinction of working with all types of nationalities without any conямВict,┬а
is a testimony of the maturity as well as ямВexibility in personality.┬а
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 by┬а
raising funds in conjunction with NGOs.┬а
Tis is an initiative of the frm M/S Knnamp Enterprise, owned and┬а
managed by author to provide consultancy services in drilling ямВuids┬а
engineering discipline of oil/gas drilling. Te book represents the spirit┬а
of sharing, learning and growing together."
