BOOKS, FORMS AND CD-ROMS

IADC is a major publisher of manuals, reference books and periodicals addressing all aspects of onshore and offshore drilling operations. IADC Publications is the drilling industry’s one-stop source for definitive references on safety, well control, drilling technology, environmental compliance and training, in addition to industry-recognised contracts and forms for rig-site data management. Among the most popular references are the IADC Drilling Manual (available in hard-copy and CD-ROM), IADC Health, Safety & Environmental Reference Guide, and IADC Deepwater Well Control Guidelines. The IADC Daily Drilling Report (DDR) is the standard for rig-site data collection. IADC also licenses the right to reproduce the DDR electronically.

In addition to listing IADC-published materials, the website and companion hard-copy catalogue offer a variety of items produced by other drilling-industry publishers.
