This book describes porous media and how their physical, petrophysical, mechanical, electric and superficial properties are determined. The different measuring methods and the corresponding equipment are described. Core analysis (conventional or special) required for any reservoir engineering operation or for using mathematical models is explained. Analyses of sidewall cores and whole cores are also described in detail. Actual core-analysis examples are given. The book will be invaluable for engineers and technicians in laboratories dealing with the physico-chemistry of hydrocarbon fields and the hydrology of underground nappes. Specialists in reservoir engineering will also find the book particularly useful.

This text reviews all conversion processes. The reaction mechanisms, the operating conditions and the advantages and disadvantages of each process are carefully analyzed and summarized. Refining flow sheets involving several conversion processes are studied. Concrete results are given and commented upon. The book is designed to help refiners to make technical and economic choices among different processes so as to develop the refining flowsheet that best suits their needs.Contents: I. Processing routes with carbon rejection. General. 1. Physical processes with carbon rejection. 2. Carbon rejecting processes by thermal treatment. II. Resid process without carbon rejection. General. 1. Thermal conversion processes. 2. Catalytic conversion under hydrogen pressure. 3. Resid processing schemes. References.

Chemistry

This book reviews the present status of organic geochemistry and its application to Petroleum Exploration. It is intended to be as practical as possible with all aspects of geochemistry illustrated by a great number of examples taken from case histories from all over the world which show that geochemistry must be used in the framework of a good geological/geophysical background. This book is written for: petroleum geologists and geophysicists; managers who should integrate the impact of geochemistry in exploration decision-making; specialized geochemists who need an accurate panorama of other aspects of geochemistry; university professors and students in petroleum geology.
