Produktbeschreibung

RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION The second volume in the series, "Sustainable Energy Engineering," written by some of the foremost authorities in the world on reservoir engineering, this groundbreaking new volume presents the most comprehensive and updated new processes, equipment, and practical applications in the field. Long thought of as not being "sustainable," newly discovered sources of petroleum and newly developed methods for petroleum extraction have made it clear that not only can the petroleum industry march toward sustainability, but it can be made "greener" and more environmentally friendly. Sustainable energy engineering is where the technical, economic, and environmental aspects of energy production intersect and affect each other. This collection of papers covers the strategic and economic implications of methods used to characterize petroleum reservoirs. Born out of the journal by the same name, formerly published by Scrivener Publishing, most of the articles in this volume have been updated, and there are some new additions, as well, to keep the engineer abreast of any updates and new methods in the industry. Truly a snapshot of the state of the art, this groundbreaking volume is a must-have for any petroleum engineer working in the field, environmental engineers, petroleum engineering students, and any other engineer or scientist working with reservoirs. This outstanding new volume: * Is a collection of papers on reservoir characterization written by world-renowned engineers and scientists and presents them here, in one volume * Contains in-depth coverage of not just the fundamentals of reservoir characterization, but the anomalies and challenges, set in application-based, real-world situations * Covers reservoir characterization for the engineer to be able to solve daily problems on the job, whether in the field or in the office * Deconstructs myths that are prevalent and deeply rooted in the industry and reconstructs logical solutions * Is a valuable resource for the veteran engineer, new hire, or petroleum engineering student
