Petroleum Engineering

Volume VI contains 12 chapters that describe the unique technology developed either in niches on the periphery of existing petroleum engineering subjects or as emerging areas of technology, technologies that were not covered in the 1987 edition of the Handbook.

This is a comprehensive compilation of practical information and data covering production equipment and reservoir engineering.

Facilities engineering is a broad specialty embracing all of the classic engineering specialties such as civil, chemical, mechanical, and instrument/electrical, as well as the broad science of project management. Authors have attempted to provide the non-facilities engineer with a basic understanding of the equipment and systems we use, how they work, the relative advantages and disadvantages that aid in choosing between alternatives for a specific set of conditions, and a better understanding of the terminology so that those with a general knowledge can interface more effectively with experts in each of the different subspecialties.

Production Operations Engineering, Vol. IV of the new Petroleum Engineering Handbook, is designed to replace the production engineering chapters found in the 1987 edition of the Handbook. There have been significant changes in technology and operating practices in the past 20 years, and these new chapters will bring you up to date in the areas of design, equipment selection, and operation procedures for most oil and gas wells.

This book presents the proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Integrated Petroleum Engineering and Geosciences 2014 (ICIPEG2014).
