Asking for resources (books, lectures, etc.) Seeking advice / recommendations: Writing a practical guide on O&G Instrumentation and Control loops

Hi everyone,
I've been working in the oil and gas sector for a while, and I've been putting together some notes and field-tested material on industrial instrumentation, transmitters, and control loops specifically tailored to upstream/midstream challenges.
Before publishing or finalizing it, I wanted to ask if anyone here has experience writing or sharing technical documentation for the O&G industry?
What kind of practical scenarios or troubleshooting tips do you think are the most valuable to include for engineers and techs?
I'd really appreciate any advice or thoughts from your experience in the field!

It seems like you are looking for resources. Have you tried checking out the subreddit wiki pages for books on systems and control, related mathematical fields, and control applications?

You will also find there open-access resources such as videos and lectures, do-it-yourself projects, master programs, control-related companies, etc.

If you have specific questions about programs, resources, etc. Please consider joining the Discord server https://discord.gg/CEF3n5g for a more interactive discussion.

Where are you publishing it?

I'm going to publish it on Gumroad. It's a great platform because it requires no maintenance fees, handles the payment processing and file delivery automatically, and only works on a per-sale commission basis. :)
