These are some excellent video collection which would help everybody understand about drilling operation from start to finish. Some of them is land operation and some of them is offshore operation.
Drilling from Spud to Completion
Project Management for the Oil and Gas Industry A World System Approach written by Adedeji B. Badiru and Samuel O. Osisanya is one of the best project management books/e-books in oil and gas industry and you can download it for free. There are over 750 pages in this book.
According to the previous post (piston force on open-ended tubular), applied surface pressure will reduce tensile force on surface. In this article, this is an analysis on the piston force on a plugged tubular string and the details are shown below;
Tubing Detail
Figure 1 shows the wellbore schematic. Applied pressure (5,000 psi) will cause a piston effect to push the tubing. Therefore, at the bottom of tubing buoyancy and piston force will act in an upwards direction (compression).
Figure 1 – Wellbore Schematic
Piston force is a load caused directly by changes in pressure acting on the exposed cross sectional area of pipe. This results in changing in length of tubular and force acting against tubular. In this article, it generally demonstrates force distribution based on a simple tubular diagram.

Shell is one of major oil companies which always share basic knowledge in oil and gas industry to people. In this posting, there are series of upstream knowledge that you can learn from them.
