Valves, Piping and Pipelines Handbook, Third Edition

Over recent years, a number of significant developments in the application of valves have taken place: the increasing use of actuator devices, the introduction of more valve designs capable of reliable operation in difficult fluid read.freeduan.com handling situations; low noise technology and most importantly, the increasing attention being paid to product safety and reliability. Digital technology is making an impact on this market with manufacturers developing intelligent (smart) control valves incorporating control functions and interfaces.
New metallic materials and coatings available make it possible to improve application ranges and reliability. New and improved polymers, plastic composite materials and ceramics are all playing their part. Fibre-reinforced plastic pipe systems, glass-reinforced epoxy pipe systems and the traditional low-cost polyester pipe systems have all undergone sophisticated design and manufacturing technology changes. The potential for growth and expansion of the industry is huge.

The 3rd Edition of the Valves, Piping and Pipelines Handbook salutes these developments and provides the engineer with a timely first source of reference for the selection and application of Valves and Pipes.

Design of Offshore Concrete Structures

Since their inception thirty years ago, offshore concrete structures have proved to be a competitive alternative to steel structures in the North Sea and in other places where large offshore structures for the production of oil and gas are required." "The continuing development of high-strength, high-performance concrete, together with advances in design methods and construction techniques, have resulted in highly durable offshore concrete structures, which have good resistance against corrosion." "This book is a state-of-the-art account of the construction of offshore concrete structures, based on the authors' extensive experience in the field. The complete design process is described, including concept definition, project management, analysis procedures, detailed design criteria, and quality assurance issues. Emphasis is given to presenting an overview of important problem areas in design, and the authors give specific recommendations to ensure the fulfilment of a satisfactory product. The design process described is also equally applicable to other complex concrete structures.

Casing Design Theory and practice

At a certain stage during the drilling of oil and gas wells. it becomes necessary to line the walls of a borehole with steel pipe which is called casing. Casing serves numerous purposes during the drilling and production history of oil and gas wells, these include:
***Keeping the hole open by preventing the weak format ions from collapsing. i.e., caving of the hole.
Serving as a high strength flow conduit to surface for both drilling and production fluids.
Protecting the freshwater-bearing formations from contamination by drilling and production fluids.

--Providing a suitable support for wellhead equipment and blowout preventers for controlling subsurface pressure. and for the iristallation of tubing and sulxurface equipment.
--Providing safe passage for running wireline equipment
--Allowing isolated comunication whit selectivrely perforated foriiiation(s) of interest.

ARTIFICIAL LIFT MANUAL PART 2A - Gas Lift Design Guide

This document is primarily intended as an introduction to gas lift for Production Technology, Production Operations and Process Engineering staff involved in the design and operation of gas lifted production systems. The primary focus of the document is gas lift well behaviour and string design, although some attention has also been paid to gas lift system design and operation. It is also the intention that the guide will serve as the hasis for Croup training material.

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.
