In this important new book, Mohan Kelkar, a respected author and professor, presents the quintessential guide for gas engineers, emphasizing the practical aspects of natural gas production. Readers will learn to incorporate cutting-edge research in estimating reserves, evaluating the performance of fractured wells, processing gas, and material balance analysis; learn to evaluate future performance of gas reservoirs; learn to improve the performance of gas wells; and more.

This book presents a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of the technology of producing and transporting natural gas. The design of a development plan for a natural gas field always depends on the reservoir and well characteristics, tubing and flowline performance, and compressor and processing equipment characteristics.

The PEPS suite of software is a Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) system based upon an integrated suite of software with facilities for designing geometrical models with its in-built CAD drawing tools or importing models from external CAD systems, and CNC part programming. The PEPS system takes a central part in fully integrated CAM installations, but is also ideally placed to provide an affordable solution to the CNC part programming needs of engineering businesses of all sizes.
