The Future of Petroleum Operations
This state-of-the-art text analyzes some of the most contentious issues in the energy industry, covering new and greener processes for engineers and scientists and urging them to move petroleum operations closer to sustainability. Although petroleum is still the world's most diverse, efficient, and abundant energy source, there is a growing initiative from global political and industry leaders to "go green," because of climate concerns and high gasoline prices. This book investigates and details how to do that.

This practical and comprehensive reference examines: the refining of lube oil base stocks the chemistry of additives the formulation technology of lubricants the performance of the most important finished products such as turbine oils, hydraulic fluids, and engine oils Insight into these variables enables petroleum chemists and engineers to choose the right lubricant base stock and additive combination.

The estimating and reporting of reserves of oil and gas and related substances are of fundamental importance to the oil and gas industry. Reserves estimates form the basis for most development and operational decisions and are of critical importance in financing and other commercial arrangements that allow oil and gas developments to proceed in an orderly and efficient manner.

This book describes petroleum activities and the numerous accounting principles, practices, and procedures employed in petroleum financial reporting.

This text is written to include reservoirs that produce under steady-state conditions at much higher rates. You can be better prepared to solve reservoir engineering problems, in the U.S. and around the world. Problems are presented throughout the book to give you hands-on experience with various field calculations.

This handbook covers the gamut of oil and gas engineering topics to provide a reliable source of engineering and reference information for analyzing and solving problems. It also reflects the growing role of natural gas in industrial development by integrating natural gas topics throughout both volumes.

Reservoir Simulations Handbook is one of the best tools that the reservoir engineer has at his disposal, allowing the engineer and geologist to create the most efficient and cost effective plan possible for drilling and production. This book offers a practical, real-world approach to solving reservoir simulation problems. As a reference for the engineer in the field, it offers a new approach using more mathematical models for the engineer to devise his or her own approach to a particular problem.

Petroleum Experts develop the Integrated Production Modelling software (IPM). IPM models the complete oil or gas production system including reservoir, wells and the surface network.

These Proceedings embrace many of the world’s petroleum provinces in a two-volume set. There are sections on Europe, which still provides the heart of the Proceedings; Russia, the former Soviet Union and Circum-Arctic; North Africa and the Middle East; Passive Margins; and Unconventional Hydrocarbon Resources.

Fundamentals of Petroleum Refining provides a thorough and balanced introduction to refinery engineering topics, from basic concepts and unit operations to overall refinery economics, planning and control. Based on the fundamentals of thermodynamics and kinetics, the text develops the scientific background needed to understand refinery operations, provides an in depth description of major refinery processes, and then assimilates an integrated refinery by focusing on the economic and operational aspects for enhancing performance and profitability.

Oilfield chemical demand has risen 4.3 percent annually through 2011. Gains will be driven by a rise in rig counts, more use of well stimulation and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods and more deepwater drilling and production. Working Guide to Oil Field Chemicals is a guide to the benefits and trade-offs of numerous oil field chemicals used in the petroleum and natural gas industry today.
