Well Logging and Formation Evaluation

The purpose of this book is to provide a series of techniques which will be of real practical value to petrophysicists in their day-to-day jobs. These are based on my experience from many years working in oil companies. To this end I have concentrated wherever possible on providing one recommended technique, rather than offer the reader a choice of different options.

Written by: Toby Darling

The primary functions of a petrophysicist are to ensure that the right operational decisions are made during the course of drilling and testing a well—from data gathering, completion and testing—and thereafter to provide the necessary parameters to enable an accurate static and dynamic model of the reservoir to be constructed. Lying somewhere between Operations, Production Geology, Seismology, Production Technology and Reservoir Engineering, the petrophysicist has a key role in ensuring the success of a well, and the characterization of a reservoir.

Handbook of petroleum refining processes

Thoroughly revised and expanded by 50%, this edition of this handbook offers petroleum and chemical engineers a comprehensive guide to all aspects of petroleum refining processes. The book features new chapters from Chevron, Mobil, Shell, Exxon, UOP, and Texaco which define technology, pollution-control, and economic aspects of 60 petroleum refining processes. Each chapter covers the process chemistry and thermodynamics, product and by-product specification of all plants. Also presented are estimates of capital and operating costs, and information on the design of additions to existing refineries and construction of new ones.

Principles of Applied Reservoir Simulation

The second edition of Principles of Applied Reservoir Simulation has been expanded to include background material on reservoir engineering. The chapters in Part I - Reservoir Engineering Primer are intended to make the book more accessible to people from such disciplines as geology, geophysics, and hydrology.


The material should serve as a review for petroleum engineers. Chapters in Part II - Modeling Principles have been substantially revised and updated where appropriate. Exercises have been added or modified to improve their usefulness. Much of the material in the program technical supplement has been integrated into the main body of the text because it is relevant for flow simulators in general, and not just for the accompanying software. The simulator WINB4D accompanying the text is a version of the original BOAST4D flow simulator modified for use in a Windows operating environment with a dynamic memory management system. The dynamic memory management system expands the range of applicability of the program. A visualization program (3DVIEW) is included on the accompanying CD. It lets the reader obtain a 3D perspective of the reservoir using WINB4D output.

Directional Horizontal Drilling Manual PetroSkills

Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) has emerged as an innovative technology for installing natural gas transmission lines and other utility conduits under wetlands and waterways, roadways and existing structures. This Best Management Practices (BMP) manual has been designed as a comprehensive decision-making tool which covers many facets of HDD planning, engineering, construction, and environmental protection and mitigation, including management of the drilling muds and contingency planning. While universal in its applicability, the manual’s emphasis is for use in HDD operations for the natural gas pipeline industry. The manual focuses on environmental impacts and the steps to take for prevention, mitigation and cleanup of such impacts. The following sections are included: regulatory requirements and guidelines; HDD as a technology; typical features and resources suitable for HDD; construction and engineering considerations; environmental impacts from inadvertent returns; and environmental Best Management Practices. The manual should be a useful reference for contractors, field personnel, planners, regulators, engineers, and others.

Reservoir Formation Damage

Formation damage is an undesirable operational and economic problem that can occur during the various phases of oil and gas recovery from subsurface reservoirs including production, drilling, hydraulic fracturing, and workover operations. Formation damage assessment, control, and remediationare among the most important issues to be resolved for efficient exploitation of hydrocarbon reservoirs. Such damage is caused by various adverse processes, including chemical, physical, biological, and thermal interactions of formation and fluids, and deformation of formation under stress and fluid shear. Formation damage indicators include permeability impairment, skin damage, and decrease of well performance. The properly designed experimental and analytical techniques presented in this book can help understanding, diagnosis, evaluation, prevention and controlling of formation damage in oil and gas reservoirs.

Practical Heavy Oil Recovery

This one-day course is proposed for petroleum engineers, geologists, and others with background in reservoir engineering and oil recovery. The course will consist of lectures, problem sessions, and limited participation of the attendees. The course will cover all thermal recovery methods, but the emphasis will be on steam injection.

Written by: Farouq Ali

Objectives
It is expected that the participants will learn about: (1). Status of thermal recovery in U.S.A., Alberta, Venezuela, and other countries, in the sense of what methods are commercially successful. (2). Analytical calculation methods, and how they compare with numerical results. (3). Simplified approach to project planning and surveillance. The emphasis will be on practical aspects, not on academic rigour.
