Two books that should help, depending on what exactly you want to do -

1: A Primer of Oilwell Drilling (This is a UTexas book that is super-expensive if you buy from the publisher, but there should be cheap used copies floating around).


2: Nontechnical Guide to Petroleum Geology, Exploration, Drilling, and Production - This is also expensive from the publisher, but honestly feels more like a textbook on the petroleum industry (whereas the first one feels more like a big pamphlet).

I was in the same boat as you and purchased this book. It is great and I highly recommend a copy to reference throughout your career if you stick with Oil and Gas.

If you are in the Houston area you can borrow my copy for a couple months (I recommend taking notes as you read). PM me if interested.

It's a great book no matter where you're at on the O&G scale. There is a new version that goes into depth on newer technology and things, but for you go ahead and get the old version if there is a huge price difference. Look around you should be able to get a copy for $20 or less since that's what I paid for mine 5 years ago.
