| Corrosion and Scale Handbook |
by
J.R. Becker Corrosion and scale in crude oil systems are two
of the most costly problems facing oil companies, which go to great
expense to effectively control the problems. Corrodible surfaces are
found throughout production, transport, and refining equipment.
Therefore, the protection of this equipment is critical to the
profitability and successful operation of these companies. While scale
control ranks lower in importance, its presence is also costly in terms
of equipment damage. This book provides understanding of these
processes, their impact on petroleum companies, and potential solutions
and inhibitors. Contents: •
Introduction • Petroleum-related corrosion and scale •
Petroleum-related fluids and scale • Petroleum fluids & corrosion •
The petroleum industry and mild steel • Petroleum fluid scale growth
and inhibition • Solid-solid surfaces • Electrochemical effects on
scale • The special case of hydrogen • Corrosion and scale forms •
Electrochemical behavior of petroleum fluids • Corrosion inhibition •
Phase behavior of corrosion chemicals • Phase behavior of scale
chemicals • Petroleum fluids corrosion and scale testing • Synthetic
routes to some scale and corrosion chemicals • Corrosion and scale
inhibitors and native petroleum surfactants • Epilogue: Corrosion and
scale and the future. 329p /Hardcover/October

| A Policy of Discontent: The Making of a National Energy Strategy |
by
Vito Stagliano Energy––electric, oil and gas, coal, nuclear,
renewable––powers the United States and the rest of the industrialized
world. It also "powers" political upheavals, wars, and seemingly
endless quests for the "right" energy strategy that will make logical
sense of it all. Vito A. Stagliano’s long-awaited book
represents the history and comprehensive analysis of 65 years of energy
policy making, with an insider’s view of the four-years that resulted
in the Energy Policy Act of 1992—the last energy legislation enacted by
Congress. Placed in the context of U.S. energy policy-making since the
New Deal, Stagliano presents a case study which lends a historical
basis for measuring the ongoing work of the G. W. Bush Administration
to craft a national energy strategy. Features: provides an
understanding of the forces that shape national energy
policy - explains how the oil, gas, and electric
sectors have been deregulated, and - analyzes the
historic, geographic conflict of interests that shape and distort
national energy policy debate. Contents:

Reviews. "This book is an entertaining, informative description of
a complex struggle..." —R.E. O'Connor,
Pennsylvania State University, CHOICE Current Reviews for Academic
Libraries. “Stagliano
provides an inside--and quite insightful--look at the making of the
Energy Policy Act of 1992. In doing so, he has given us an excellent
backdrop against which to understand the energy policy debate unfolding
before us in 2001.” — Paul
R. Portney, President, Resources for the Future “This is a very
well-researched and well-written book, and I found the author’s
description of how the National Energy Strategy was formulated to read
almost like a suspense novel. Fascinating to be able to look behind the
scenes, through the eyes of one who was there through it all. A Policy
of Discontent should become mandatory reading for those in the
executive and legislative branches of government who have energy in
their portfolio.”—Robert E.

| Advanced Drilling Solutions: Lessons from the FSU, Volume I |
by
Yakov A. Gelfgat, Mikhail Y. Gelfgat, and Yuri S. Lopatin Volume one of this two-volume set covers historical trends and
two major aspects of drilling technologies—downhole motors and oil well
drilling optimization (KTW—Key Technological Wells drilling method)
Unlike the U.S. and other countries, which use rotary drilling, the
Russians use downhole hydraulic and electrical motors that power the
bit downhole. Using a downhole motor is more efficient, especially in
hard formations. Advanced drilling studies have long been conducted in
the FSU and are important in reducing drilling costs in marginal
reservoirs. This technology is beginning to gain popularity in the U.S.
and other countries. Key Features and Benefits: Valuable Russian drilling techniques translated
into English. An excellent historical account of
the development of drilling technologies in the FSU. Includes mathematical models and rationale for the KTW
drilling method. Contents: Preface. Introduction to

| Dry Gas Seals Handbook |
by
John S. Stahley Despite the fact that the use of dry
gas seals in process gas centrifugal compressors has increased
dramatically over the last 20 years, the technology remains
misunderstood by many in the industry. Dry gas seals operate with
clearances measured in microns, much less than the thickness of a human
hair! While dry gas seals can be very problematic if not properly
applied at the time of plant, process, and/or compressor design, the
many successful installations are a testament to how trouble-free these
devices can be when properly applied. Let author John Stahley help you
take the mystery out of dry gas seals in this comprehensive new book.
Dry gas seals are in used in compressor stations, processing plants,
refineries, chemical plants, and more. This book is perfectly suited
for: Engineers Operators Maintenance
personnel Purchasing personnel Technical management The information
found in Dry Gas Seals Handbook will help you make
informed decisions regarding the application, operation, and
maintenance of dry gas seals. This book presents a complete guide to
the technology, from the principle of gas seal operation to “lessons
learned” from actual field experience. Key features &

Fundamentals of Marine Riser Mechanics: Basic Principles and Simplified Analysis
|
Charles Sparks
has written the
definitive work on riser behavior, which will be of permanent value to
engineers confronted by riser analysis problems whether they are
university students or drilling veterans with extensive experience.
This book is based on the author’s 28 years of experience with riser
analysis and, in particular, on his previous publications, some of
which have become classics of riser literature. Basic
principles governing riser behavior are presented and justified
clearly. The primary parameters that influence riser behavior are
identified and their influence illustrated using Excel spreadsheets
provided on an accompanying CD-ROM. Readers will also be able to use
these files with their own data. The spreadsheets are designed firstly
to illustrate and confirm affirmations made in the text, but readers
will also be able to use them to carry out their own simplified
analyses. This book is a must-own for anyone who deals with
riser technology, from the classroom student to the offshore drilling
platform engineer. Features and
Benefits: Clear understanding
of the principal parameters that influence riser behavior with their
mode of influence. Clear procedures for analyzing
very tricky problems such as those involving multi-barrier risers of
anisotropic materials subjected to changes of fluids, pressures, and
temperatures. Means of making rapid “ballpark”
analyses before and after running sophisticated FE riser programs.

| Introduction to GIS for the Petroleum Industry |
by
Dean Gaddy Geographical Information Systems (GIS) provide a
natural fit for the petroleum industry. Almost all petroleum operations
can be geospatially defined then linked to GPS, aerial photographs,
remote sensing, tabular data sets, and other real-time and historical
information flows. In addition, the implementation of GIS can reduce
costs associated with redundancy, standardization, data management, and
information automation. Beginning with the well prospect and ending at
the gas pump, petroleum professionals involved in upstream, midstream,
and downstream activities can use GIS for site selection,
cross-functional and organizational communications, and economic and
market analysis. This introduction outlines the fundamentals of GIS and
how it can be used in the petroleum industry. Using nontechnical
language, Gaddy explores how to plan, implement, and operate a GIS
program. Contents: • Foreward •
Acknowledgements • An Introduction to GIS • Oilfield Examples • Spatial
Fundamentals • Geodesy • GIS Projections • GPS • Remote Sensing • The

Introduction to Oil Company Financial Analysis
|
By David
Johnston and Daniel Johnston There has always been a bit of
magic in the stock market, especially when it comes to oil companies.
When the oil industry and the stock market get together, the affair is
usually dynamic and not always pleasant. Basic principles are widely
understood in the financial industry, but the terminology and
analytical techniques can vary greatly. This book is written for the
nonfinancial shareholders, managers, and oil company employees
interested in the forces that influence stock values. The bottom line
in any company is expressed in the language of finance. This book
explains financial concepts in a nontechnical, practical way so that
nonfinancial professionals and others may understand and appreciate
this aspect of the business. The value information found in this book
includes: Abbreviations and expanded definitions

carry out reservoir simulations, written by a seasoned practicing
simulation engineer. Mathematical development is kept to a minimum
since this is covered in depth in many books and the literature. In
particular, the author shows how to link geology and simulation
input—the most critical aspect of successful reservoir simulation. The
book covers all of the fundamental techniques that are unique to
reservoir simulation, such as pseudo relative permeability. The second
half of the book describes advanced studies, compositional modelling,
hydraulically fractured and horizontal wells, EOR processe and thermal
simulation with a heavy emphasis on steam assisted gravity drainage
(SAGD). Features & Benefits •

Progressing Cavity Pumps, Downhole Pumps and Mudmotors
|
This
publication describes the fundamentals of progressing cavity (PC)
pumps. Although formally classified by the Hydraulic Institute as a
single-screw type, a subset (group) of the rotary class pumps, they are
better known as PC pumps and are used in a wide variety of
applications. They are especially suited for tough, nasty, multiphase
fluids with gas and solids in suspension, at relatively moderate
temperatures. The formal approach to analyzing and understanding these
types of pumps and mudmotors is just beginning to emerge, but it is
still more art than science. There is no universally accepted
nomenclature to denote major and minor diameters, eccentricity,
rotor/stator fits, or thermal shrink rates. The nomenclature used in
this book is a first attempt to unify and standardize such symbols,
with the goal of eventually being incorporated into the ISO standard to
benefit publications and to facilitate communication within the
technical community. 216p /Softcover/2005 0-97651-131-2 [SD]

| The Rise of the Superconductors |
High-temperature
superconductors are one of the most active and exciting areas of
condensed matter physics research. The authors here discuss the
development of the science that has produced superconductors. Beginning
with the first liquefaction of helium, the book presents the discovery
of the Meissner effect and then moves to the key work of Nobel
prize-winners Bednorz and Muller. After reviewing the legacy of the
last decade, the authors introduce the general structure and properties
of superconductors and the organic metals in particular. The final
third of the book outlines some major technological advances and
suggests future directions, and it examines the impact of theoretical
physics on superconductors. Rise of the
Superconductors concludes with a brief look at the struggle
for technical superiority between the U.S. and Japan, and the influence
Europe has had on the development of superconductors. 304p /Paperback/2004 ISBN
