Publisher's Synopsis
The demand for energy consumption is increasing rapidly. To avoid the impending energy crunch, more producers are switching from oil to natural gas. While natural gas engineering is well documented through many sources, the computer applications that provide a crucial role in engineering design and analysis are not well published, and emerging technologies, such as shale gas drilling, are generating more advanced applications for engineers to utilize on the job. Written by a leading industry experts and academics editors this Handbook of Applied Gas Engineering provides the best, most comprehensive source of petroleum and gas engineering information available. This book is one of the true must haves in any petroleum or natural gas engineer's library. This must-have handbook includes: A focus on real-world essentials rather than theory Working spreadsheet programs for all the engineering calculations on a free and easy to use companion site Exercise problems at the end of every chapter, including newly added questions utilizing the spreadsheet programs Expanded sections covering today's technologies, such as multi-fractured horizontal wells and shale gas wells
