The origin of coal-bearing strata has been debated vigorously for more than a century, and with the emergence of coalbed methane as a major energy resource and the possibility of sequestering greenhouse gas in coal, this debate has never been more re...

This book captures the vast developments that have occurred in well technology over the past several decades. It focuses on applications related to many of the field-related challenges being faced today, such as deep water and high-pressure/high-tem...

The first volume of this two-volume set covers historical trends and two major aspects of drilling technologies - downhole motors and oil well drilling optimization (KTW -- Key Technological Wells drilling method). Unlike the US and other countries,...

this book can serve as a reference book for all engineers in the energy business, a textbook for students in petroleum and chemical engineering curricula and a handbook for training departments of a large group of companies....

This book offers practicing petroleum engineers and graduate students in petroleum engineering and geology a complete guide for formulating workflow solutions on a day-to-day basis. The book takes a clear and concise approach to the theory and practi...

This book addresses almost all phases of well control, and we hope that its content will contribute to those efforts. We anticipate that the book will be used as a text to train young engineers and as a reference for working engineers and supervisors...

The data in this monograph should enable the petroleum engineer to design, conduct, and analyze pressure transient tests to obtain reliable information about reservoir and well conditions. Each chapter is, as nearly as possible, an independent unit. ...

This book is about the minute amount of light that can be obtained from mineral grains, principally of quartz or feldspar, when stimulated by a beam of light comparable in strength to sunlight or by a team of infrared radiation. Albiet minute, this ...
