This book explains how to apply time-tested engineering design methods when developing equipment and systems for oil industry and drilling applications.
Although specific requirements and considerations must be incorporated into an engineering design for petroleum drilling and production, the approach for developing a successful solution is the same across many engineering disciplines. Engineering Practice with Oilfield and Drilling Applications helps readers understand the engineering design process while demonstrating how basic engineering tools can be applied to meet the needs of the oil and petroleum industry.
Divided into three parts, the book opens with an overview of best practices for engineering design and problem solving, followed by a summary of specific mechanical design requirements for different modes of power generation, transmission, and consumption. The book concludes with explanations of various analytical tools of design and their application in vibration analysis, fluid mechanics, and drilling systems. Throughout the book, clearly written chapters present traditional tools of engineering mechanics, various mathematical models and methods of solution, key references and background information, and more. Featuring hundreds of figures and a wealth of real-word examples from the petroleum industry, this practical reference:
· Presents a systematic process for developing an engineering design
· Illustrates the application of engineering tools during all stages of design
· Discusses key specifications and considerations for pressure vessels and drilling rigs
· Explains concept evaluation, visualization of a system and its subsystems, implementing feedback from test results, finalizing a design, and presenting manufacturing drawings

Explains the mechanisms governing flow-induced vibrations and helps engineers prevent fatigue and fretting-wear damage at the design stage.
Fatigue or fretting-wear damage in process and plant equipment caused by flow-induced vibration can lead to operational disruptions, lost production, and expensive repairs. Mechanical engineers can help prevent or mitigate these problems during the design phase of high capital cost plants such as nuclear power stations and petroleum refineries by performing thorough flow-induced vibration analysis. Accordingly, it is critical for mechanical engineers to have a firm understanding of the dynamic parameters and the vibration excitation mechanisms that govern flow-induced vibration.
Flow-Induced Vibration Handbook for Nuclear and Process Equipment provides the knowledge required to prevent failures due to flow-induced vibration at the design stage. The product of more than 40 years of research and development at the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, this authoritative reference covers all relevant aspects of flow-induced vibration technology, including vibration failures, flow velocity analysis, vibration excitation mechanisms, fluidelastic instability, periodic wake shedding, acoustic resonance, random turbulence, damping mechanisms, and fretting-wear predictions. Each in-depth chapter contains the latest available lab data, a parametric analysis, design guidelines, sample calculations, and a brief review of modelling and theoretical considerations. Written by a group of leading experts in the field, this comprehensive single-volume resource:
Covering all relevant aspects of flow-induced vibration technology, Flow-Induced Vibration Handbook for Nuclear and Process Equipment is required reading for professional mechanical engineers and researchers working in the nuclear, petrochemical, aerospace, and process industries, as well as graduate students in mechanical engineering courses on flow-induced vibration.

Rules of thumb are the quickest way to avoid technical dead-ends. Most of the rules can
be applied to vessels, piping, tanks and structural components.
Rules of thumb?
They’re everywhere. Rules of thumb are broad statements of principle. If you follow them,
things turn out better. No rules are unbreakable, otherwise they’d be laws, so there’s
flexibility built in. Anyone can use them.
Information is drawn from real integrity/failure cases, codes and recommended
practices, taking you straight to the information that matters. Don’t get involved in
detailed integrity assessments until you have checked out the 101 rules in this book.
