Upstream or downstream?
Tom.
i have not chosen yet can u give me your idea on both
Upstream: Fluid data transmission, threadforms for drill pipe and casing connections, CFD of bit hydraulics, rotary directional drilling (both push- and point-the-bit), ultra-high-temperature/pressure seals and mountings, a re-settable packer that doesn't suck.
Downstream: not really my thing...probably always work going on with pressure vessel design, pipeline pumps, pipeline welding, pigs, reactor design, etc.
