Production and Transport of Oil and Gas

Fülszöveg

For this second, two-volume edition, the author has very considerably revised the first edition of his book on the production and transport of oil and gas. He has incorporated recent developments in the world oil industry, modifying some chapters didactically and enlarging some to account for their increased significance. The author's international reputation, based on extensive oil and gas field practice, research achievements and long professional experience, backs up this international survey of "western and eastern" science and technology. It gives the reader access to reliable, up-to-date and effectively presented information about the latest equipment, technology and design methods in the field. Part of the first volume (Part A) deals with important selected pipeline flow problems (e.g. flow of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, multiphase flow in vertical and horizontal pipes, etc.). Other chapters deal in depth with the theory and practice of producing flowing wells,... Tovább

For this second, two-volume edition, the author has very considerably revised the first edition of his book on the production and transport of oil and gas. He has incorporated recent developments in the world oil industry, modifying some chapters didactically and enlarging some to account for their increased significance. The author's international reputation, based on extensive oil and gas field practice, research achievements and long professional experience, backs up this international survey of "western and eastern" science and technology. It gives the reader access to reliable, up-to-date and effectively presented information about the latest equipment, technology and design methods in the field. Part of the first volume (Part A) deals with important selected pipeline flow problems (e.g. flow of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, multiphase flow in vertical and horizontal pipes, etc.). Other chapters deal in depth with the theory and practice of producing flowing wells, lifting and pumping. The second volume (Part B) presents equipment and systems for the surface gathering, separation and metering of oil and gas. Isothermal and non-isothermal oil transport methods and systems are discussed in detail. One chapter deals with the design of gas-transport systems at the level required by the petroleum engineer.
Physical symbols and units of measurement conform to the SI system. The extensive calculations, presentation of design and dimensioning procedures and the worked examples throughout the book will prove useful to R, & D workers, engineers and students concerned with the production and transport of crude oil and gas.
