Written by petroleum production engineers with extensive industrial as well as teaching experience, this is the only available advanced and comprehensive engineering textbook for petroleum reservoir and production engineering. Provides extensive coverage of well deliverability from oil, gas and two-phase reservoirs, wellbore flow performance, modern well test and production log analysis, matrix stimulation, hydraulic fracturing, artificial lift and environmental concerns. For advanced undergraduate and graduate students in petroleum engineering schools or professional courses, as well as for practicing petroleum engineers and technicians.

This volume comprises papers, each of which has been rewritten and updated to reflect the very latest knowledge, which were contributed to the Special Issue of the International Journal of Energy Research published in 1985. The contributors, all distinguished international figures in the field, review the progress made in all areas of geothermal energy over the past decade. The range of topics covered is wide, from the formation of geothermal resources and their physical and thermodynamic properties, through geophysics and geochemistry, to the practicalities of geothermal engineering. Each topic is explained in detail by a contributor having practical experience in the field. This book will be of interest to all researchers and engineers working in the field of geothermal energy, as well as those considering the use of this increasingly important source of energy.

The book explores the theoretical background of one of the most widespread activities in hydrocarbon wells, that of hydraulic fracturing. A comprehensive treatment of the basic phenomena includes: linear elasticity, stresses, fracture geometry and rheology. The diverse concepts of mechanics are integrated into a coherent description of hydraulic fracture propagation. The chapters in the book are cross-referenced throughout and the connections between the various phenomena are emphasized. The book offers readers a unique approach to the subject with the use of many numerical examples.

Petroleum Well Construction Michael J. Economides Texas A &amp; M University Larry T. Watters Halliburton Energy Services Shari Dunn-Norman University of Missouri-Rolla Since the 1980s, well construction procedures have advanced so significantly that the subject now requires a comprehensive reference book dealing with all types of petroleum drilling and well completions. With each chapter co-authored by recognized industry professionals, this extensive work fills the void that currently exists in the technical reference publications of this subject. All technical aspects of petroleum well construction are covered, including: * drilling trajectory and control * multilateral wells * borehole stability * gas migration * perforating * inflow performance resulting in an essential reference tool for all petroleum, nuclear and environmental engineers and technicians.

By depoliticizing the energy-climate debate the authors succeed in exposing corrupt political thinking and 'green' myth-making about issues that affect everyone of us. &gt;

High oil prices are bound to undermine the U.S. economic recovery, unless global supplies increase significantly. Latin America holds the world's biggest oil reserves after the Middle East, but politics are hindering its potential, especially in Venezuela. Global U.S. security would benefit from a revamping of outdated and misguided idealism-driven policies toward Latin America, which, in fact, strengthen anti-American forces led by President Hugo Chávez.
This is a blind spot in American politics, one that threatens U.S. geopolitical and economic interests. At stake, ultimately, is the U.S.'s ability to navigate a shifting world and protect its way of life. Washington needs a new regional policy not only to neutralize Chávez, but also to secure long term access to Latin America's oil, improve global security, and counter the rising influence of regional players.
America's Blind Spot offers a fascinating and thorough analysis of key geopolitical and economic threats to the U.S., highlighting the need for a new Latin American policy doctrine based on military and strategic priorities.
