Petroleum Refineries A Troubleshooting Guide

Petroleum Refineries A Troubleshooting Guide

In petroleum refineries although there are sets of standard operating procedures to operate the plants unique problems often arise which need to be tackled with engineering knowledge and experience without much loss of energy and time. This process is termed ‘troubleshooting’ and it saves production loss leading to profitability and sustainability of the refinery operation. This book covers the ins and outs of troubleshooting in petroleum refineries with an analysis of the problems faced the fundamentals behind them and logical reasoning and illustrations to solve the problems along with lessons learnt. This is the first such book on the market since the publication of one by Norman P. Lieberman about 30 years ago and there has been a massive change in technology since then. This book will not only enlighten practicing engineers in refineries and postgraduate students but also facilitate the creation of a knowledge bank on troubleshooting case studies helping share engineering knowledge and experiences. | Petroleum Refineries A Troubleshooting Guide

Drilling and Completion in Petroleum Engineering Theory and Numerical Applications

Drilling and Completion in Petroleum Engineering Theory and Numerical Applications

Modern petroleum and petrotechnical engineering is increasingly challenging due to the inherently scarce and decreasing number of global petroleum resources. Exploiting these resources efficiently will require researchers scientists engineers and other practitioners to develop innovative mathematical solutions to serve as basis for new asset development designs. Deploying these systems in numerical models is essential to the future success and efficiency of the petroleum industry. Multiphysics modeling has been widely applied in the petroleum industry since the 1960s. The rapid development of computer technology has enabled the numerical applications of multiphysics modeling in the petroleum industry: its applications are particularly popular for the numerical simulation of drilling and completion processes. This book covers theory and numerical applications of multiphysical modeling presenting various author-developed subroutines used to address complex pore pressure input complex initial geo-stress field input etc. Some innovative methods in drilling and completion developed by the authors such as trajectory optimization and a 3-dimensional workflow for calculation of mud weight window etc are also presented. Detailed explanations are provided for the modeling process of each application example included in the book. In addition details of the completed numerical models data are presented as supporting material which can be downloaded from the website of the publisher. Readers can easily understand key modeling techniques with the theory of multiphysics embedded in examples of applications and can use the data to reproduce the results presented. While this book would be of interest to any student academic or professional practitioner of engineering mathematics and natural science we believe those professionals and academics working in civil engineering petroleum engineering and petroleum geomechanics would find the work especially relevant to their endeavors. | Drilling and Completion in Petroleum Engineering Theory and Numerical Applications

Not the Future We Ordered Peak Oil Psychology and the Myth of Progress

Not the Future We Ordered Peak Oil Psychology and the Myth of Progress

For well over half a century since the first credible warnings of petroleum depletion were raised in the 1950s contemporary industrial civilization has been caught in a remarkable paradox: a culture more focused on problem solving than any other has repeatedly failed to deal with or even consider the problem most likely to bring its own history to a full stop. The coming of peak oil-the peaking and irreversible decline of world petroleum production-poses an existential threat to societies in which every sector of the economy depends on petroleum-based transport and no known energy source can scale up extensively or quickly enough to replace dwindling oil supplies. Not The Future We Ordered is the first study of the psychological dimensions of that decision and its consequences as a case study in the social psychology of collective failure and as an issue with which psychologists and therapists will be confronted repeatedly in the years ahead. | Not the Future We Ordered Peak Oil Psychology and the Myth of Progress
