Petroleum Geoscience Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of the newest books on petroleum geosciences. It is a bit too advanced for beginners; consequently, I would not use it as a stand-alone text for an upper-level undergraduate course in petroleum geology, especially for students with diverse academic backgrounds. I would use it as a complementary text because it covers up-to-date material not in other books on the subject, most of which are years - if not decades - older than this one. This book also includes material on geophysics and especially on borehole logging, including the newer types of devices and the logs they produce.The authors are professionals and know what they're doing. This is a good reference with material not in Selley, North, or Levorsen.

Product Description:
Petroleum Geoscience is a comprehensive introduction to the application of geology and geophysics to the search for and production of oil and gas.
Uniquely, this book is structured to reflect the sequential and cyclical processes of exploration, appraisal, development, and production. Chapters dedicated to each of these aspects are further illustrated by case histories drawn from the authors' experiences. Petroleum Geoscience has a global and "geotemporal" backdrop, drawing examples and case histories from around the world and from petroleum systems ranging in age from late Precambrian to Pliocene.
In order to show how geoscience is integrated at all levels within the industry, the authors stress throughout the links between geology and geophysics on the one hand, and drilling, reservoir engineering, petrophysics, petroleum engineering, facilities design, and health, safety, and the environment on the other.

Production Chemicals for the Oil and Gas Industry Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book covers the entire area of oilfield chemistry with the exception of drilling, cementing and fracturing chemicals.
The book starts with a discussion of environmental regulations and green chemical alternatives. Individual chapters then include discussions of chemicals proposed and used in:
Water and Gas Control, Scale Control, Asphaltene Control, Acid Stimulation, Sand Control, Naphthenic Acid Scale Control, Production Corrosion Control, Gas hydrate Control, Wax Control, Demulsifiers, Foam, Flocculants, Hydrogen Sulfide Scavengers and Oxygen Scavengers, Biocides and Drag reducing agents.
The emphasis of the discussions is on the chemicals and there are hundreds of chemical structures that illustrate the text. Some very useful information is provided on mechanisms of action and on physical application of the chemicals. The very extensive reference list that accompanies each chapter includes many patent citations (issued as well as applications). This provides a very comprehensive look at the field, but does not necessarily describe the chemicals that are actually being used in the industry.
This book will be very useful for practicing oilfield chemists and those in the industry who need a very deep and broad look at the use of chemicals to control a great number of significant production problems. The author of this review has already used it extensively in his current work.

Product Description:

Modern production methods and environmental constraints demand chemical solutions. And as oilfields age, the need for chemicals to ensure steady production increases. Production Chemicals for the Oil and Gas Industry describes classes of production chemicals for use topside and downhole in the upstream oil and gas industry. It includes coverage of their mechanisms, deployment methods, and, where available, environmental properties.The first chapter gives a general overview of production chemistry issues, the factors that affect the choice of production chemicals, environmental regulations, suggestions for designing greener chemicals, and a brief overview of how to remove mercury and arsenic compounds from production fluids. Each of the remaining chapters begins with an introduction to a problem for which there is a production chemical. The author discusses chemical and non-chemical methods, and then thoroughly details the structural classes of production chemicals and how they can be tested. He includes information on the use of the chemical or technique in the field. References at the end of each chapter provide details on the synthesis, testing, theory, and application of each type of chemical.Unfortunately, crude oil production is characterized by variable production rates and unpredictable changes to the nature of the produced fluids. Unlike other texts that focus on how products perform in the field and how they are tested, this book focuses on the specific structures of a range of chemicals that are known to deliver the required or desired performance. It also provides an understanding of the issues involved in the use of chemicals and a range of production chemical additives that may be used to rectify issues that would not otherwise be fully resolved.

Fundamentals of Reservoir Engineering (Developments in Petroleum Science) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great classic reference in the area of Reservoir Engineering that can be recommended to anyone working in the area.

I would mention, though, that this manufacturing run seems to have had a binding problem.The first 16 page sheets are out of order (e.g. page 3 occurs after page 6).I alerted Amazon and returned one book, but the second copy they sent is the same...

Product Description:
"This book is fast becoming the standard text in its field", wrote a reviewer in the Journal of Canadian Petroleum Technology soon after the first appearance of Dake's book.This prediction quickly came true: it has become the standard text and has been reprinted many times.The author's
aim - to provide students and teachers with a coherent account of the basic physics of reservoir engineering - has been most successfully achieved.No prior knowledge of reservoir engineering is necessary.The material is dealt with in a concise, unified and applied manner, and only the simplest and most straightforward mathematical techniques are used.This low-priced paperback edition will continue to be an invaluable teaching aid for years to come.

Petroleum Production Engineering, A Computer-Assisted Approach Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I think what makes this book excellent for the engineer in the field, is the fact that you have the equations, derivations and methods explained in a very friendly manner, and the examples are included in the excel programs which make it easy to follow it and change the data to adapt the problems to different situations. I totally recommend the book. One recommendation would be to include more artificial lift methods in a new edition.
