Oil Well Stimulation By Schechter

This book is intended as a text for both undergraduate and graduate course in petroleum engineering, with particular emphasis on the subject of well stimulation. There are ample materials and sufficient end-of-chapter homework problems of varying difficulty to satisfy the needs of both courses. Parts of the book have also served a basis for industrial short courses, and it is hoped that some of the material presented will also be of value to researchers engaged in developing new stimulation processes or products. However, the primary audience is thought to be university students interested in petroleum engineering.

Drilling engineering: a complete well planning approach

Author introduction:

My goal for this book was to prepare a document that could serve as a guide for most drilling and well planning applications. I believe it contains a good blend of theory and commonly accepted practices. In addition, most concepts have been presented both narratively and with example problems so the drilling engineer using this book can make good, logical decisions when special situations arise. 

Drilling topics must be presented in some logical format. I chose to discuss each item in this book in the order in which it would be encountered during well planning and drilling. For example, since historical drilling data must be gathered before selecting a casing string, the chapter on drilling data acquisition precedes c~sing design. For the most part, I oriented the book toward planning and drilling abnormal pressure wells. The obvious reason is that they generally pose the most difficult problems and have higher drilling costs. Subnormal pressure wells are considered in this book since they have unique problems. 

I have included example and homework problems in this text. A solution set may be available from the publisher in the future for the homework problems and the case study in the Appendix.

Handbook of Natural Gas Transmission and Processing

Because natural gas is just that-a gas-it is very difficult to collect, transmit, and process, unlike liquids. You can feel, see, and handle liquids, but not gas. Due to the very bright future of this expanding industry, more books are needed on the shelves of petroleum engineers who are moving from oil to natural gas markets. Most drilling and petroleum engineers were not schooled specifically as "petroleum engineers," and this creates a dearth of knowledge and expertise in the industrial literature. This gap is usually handled in intracompany ways, through mentoring, company guidelines, and rules of thumb. This book is the "must have" information for the industry today.

Gas Reservoir Engineering course

Gas storage involves the temporary storage of natural gas. For example, natural gas can be stored in the summer to be used in the winter. Former gas reservoirs are particularly well suited for this purpose. One of those gas reservoirs is in Bergermeer in the province of North Holland. Natural gas has been produced there from 1972 onwards. Now, that natural gas reservoir, located between the municipalities of Alkmaar, Bergen and Heiloo, is virtually empty. It is possible to store gas there using advanced technology. The composition and size of the gas reservoir make it ideal for large‑scale natural gas storage.

Lecture Notes on Applied Reservoir Simulation

Reservoir simulation, or modeling, is one of the most powerful techniques currently available to the reservoir engineer. The author, Prof Leonard F Koederitz, (Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus at the University of Missouri-Rolla) is a highly notable author and teacher, with many teaching awards. This book has been developed over his twenty years in teaching to undergraduate petroleum engineering students, with the knowledge that they would in all likelihood be model-users, not developers. Most other books on reservoir simulation deal with simulation theory and development. For this book, however, the author has performed model studies and debugged user problems; while many of these problems were actual model errors (especially early on), a fair number of the discrepancies resulted from a lack of understanding of the simulator capabilities, or inappropriate data manipulation. The book reflects changes in both simulation concepts and philosophy over the years.

Well Test Interpretation Schlumberger

From its modest beginnings as a rudimentary productivity test, well testing has progressed to become one of the most powerful tools for determining complex reservoir characteristics. This fifth book in the Schlumberger Testing Services set summarizes the state of the art in well test interpretation. It emphasizes the need for both a controlled downhole environment and high-performance gauges, which have made well testing a powerful reservoir description tool. Also addressed in this book are descriptive (or reservoir) well testing, the application of simultaneously recorded downhole rate and pressure measurements to well testing, and testing gas wells. The special kinds of well testing discussed include testing layered reservoirs and horizontal wells, multiple-well testing, vertical interference, and combined perforation and testing techniques. Testing low-energy wells, water injection wells and sucker-rod pumping wells is also outlined.

Well control for a drilling team

The objective of this manual is to provide a good understanding of the fundamentals of Well Control that can be applied to most Well Control operations. In all cases, minimising the kick volume and closing the well in is our first priority. This manual describes industry recognised standards and practices and basic Well Control procedures. They differ from our advanced Well Control methods which tend to be well, formation, or rig specific. The manual covers the guidelines found in API 59 and API 53 along with the International Well Control Forum syllabus. All Well Control principles rely upon an understanding that good planning and early recognition and close-in is the best form of Well Control. Not all kicks are swabbed kicks; many wells are drilled into unknown formation. It is recognised that equipment can fail despite all the correct procedures being followed. This is why you will find the equipment section comprehensive and useful for general trouble shooting ideas.

Completion technology for unconsolidated formations

The completion phase of well operations begins when drilling is completed, and ends when the well is brought on production. Typical completion operations include, but are not restricted to, perforating, placing gravel packs, acidizing, fracturing and setting production tubing and packers. The goal of these operations is to obtain a well which has a productivity that is not limited by the completion itself. While this sounds easy to accomplish, completion techniques are commonly used in many parts of the world that restrict the productivity of the well.

No. of pages: 256

The purpose of this manual is to provide information on completion techniques for maximizing productivity and longevity of gravel packed wells. To achieve this purpose, the factors that can have a negative effect on the flow of fluids from a well should be understood. The nature of fluid flow towards a wellbore and a description of the potential restrictions to production are described.

Basic Applied Reservoir Simulation

The electronic explosion that we have been witnessing over the past two decades has transformed reservoir simulation from a some what esoteric approach to a practical toolbox of immense importance. With the use of the tools from this toolbox, today’s engineering community has an opportunity to better understand not only the intricacies offluid-flow dynamics in increasingly complex reservoirs, but also the characteristics of fluid-flow dynamics in wellbores, flow patterns developing within the immediate vicinity of perforations, the interaction of vertical, slanted, horizontal, and multilateral wells and the reservoir, and the complexities of reservoir characterization. These areas represent only a small portion of a list that includes some challenging issues playing critical roles in the optimum development of hydrocarbon reservoirs, and in the optimized implementation of capital-intensive projects that can be investigated with numerical simulation.

Log Interpretation charts By Schlumberger

The Schlumberger "chartbook" was initially developed to correct raw measurements to account for environmental effects and to interpret the corrected measurements.
Although software may be more effective in deriving results, especially in complex well situations, the chartbook still serves two primary functions, for training and sensitivity analysis.
Charts related to measurements that are no longer performed are not included in this chartbook. However, because many oil and gas companies use logs acquired years or even decades ago, a second chartbook, Historical Log Interpretation Charts, contains these old charts. Contact your Schlumberger representative for information on the historical chartbook.

The single most important step to blowout prevention is closing the blowout preventers when the well kicks. The decision to do so may well be the most important of your working life. It ranks with keeping the hole full of fluid as a matter of extreme importance in drilling operations. The successful detection and handling of threatened blowouts (‘kicks’) is a matter of maximum importance to our company. Considerable study and experience has enabled the industry to develop simple and easily understood procedures for detecting and controlling threatened blowouts. It is extremely important that supervisory personnel have a thorough understanding of these procedures as they apply to Saudi Aramco operated drilling rigs.
