Mechanics of rocks. Tutorial. Popov A.N.

The mechanical properties of sedimentary rocks of oil and gas fields are considered in relation to the drilling of wells. Much attention is paid to the main factors affecting the deformation and destruction of rocks with static and dynamic loading. The issues of prolonged strength of rocks, the stability of the walls of the well and their resistance to hydraulic expansion are considered. The issues of wear of materials of generating tools and abrasiveness of rocks are set out. The principles of choosing generating tools for drilling wells are described in accordance with the indicators of the mechanical properties of rocks.

for students of oil and gas universities and faculties studying in the specialty of “drilling oil and gas wells” of full -time, evening and correspondence forms of training.
