Publisher's Synopsis
Elements of Petroleum Subsurface Engineering is a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of petroleum subsurface engineering. Written by Harold James Vance, a renowned petroleum engineer with decades of experience in the industry, this book covers all the essential topics related to the exploration, drilling, production, and management of oil and gas reservoirs.The book begins with an introduction to the geological and geophysical aspects of petroleum exploration, including the formation and characteristics of reservoirs, the principles of seismic imaging, and the various types of drilling techniques used in the industry. It then delves into the engineering aspects of reservoir management, including the design and operation of well systems, reservoir simulation, and the optimization of production rates.Throughout the book, Vance emphasizes the importance of integrating geological, geophysical, and engineering data to make informed decisions about the exploration and production of petroleum resources. He also discusses the economic and environmental considerations involved in petroleum subsurface engineering, including the impact of oil spills and other environmental disasters.Overall, Elements of Petroleum Subsurface Engineering is an essential resource for anyone working in the petroleum industry or studying petroleum engineering. It provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and practices of subsurface engineering, as well as practical guidance for managing and optimizing oil and gas reservoirs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
