The Petroleum Engineering Handbook

Long been recognized as a valuable, comprehensive reference book that offers practical day-to-day applications for students and experienced engineering professionals alike, this new edition, the first since 1987, has been greatly expanded and consists of seven volumes. Its direct descendents are the 'Frick' handbook, 1962 and the 'Bradley' handbook, published in 1987.

"Volume IV, Production operations engineering" provides readers with up-to-date information on design, equipment selection, and operation procedures for most oil and gas wells. Chapters cover three main topic areas: well completions, problems caused by formation damage, and artificial lift--a major concern for production engineers.

Applied Drilling Engineering presents engineering science fundamentals as well as examples of engineering applications involving those fundamentals.

Petroleum engineering now has its own true classic handbook that reflects the profession's status as a mature major engineering discipline. Formerly titled the Practical Petroleum Engineer's Handbook, by Joseph Zaba and W.T. Doherty (editors), this new, completely updated two-volume set is expanded and revised to give petroleum engineers a comprehensive source of industry standards and engineering practices. It is packed with the key, practical information and data that petroleum engineers rely upon daily. The result of a fifteen-year effort, this handbook covers the gamut of oil and gas engineering topics to provide a reliable source of engineering and reference information for analyzing and solving problems. It also reflects the growing role of natural gas in industrial development by integrating natural gas topics throughout both volumes. More than a dozen leading industry experts-academia and industry-contributed to this two-volume set to provide the best , most comprehensive source of petroleum engineering information available.

This first of two volumes provides a comprehensive overview of petroleum engineering. Created with the purpose of answering daily questions faced by the practicing petroleum engineer, it is suitable for field and office use.
