Description

Formulas and Calculations for Petroleum Engineering unlocks the capability for any petroleum engineering individual, experienced or not, to solve problems and locate quick answers, eliminating non-productive time spent searching for that right calculation. Enhanced with lab data experiments, practice examples, and a complimentary online software toolbox, the book presents the most convenient and practical reference for all oil and gas phases of a given project. Covering the full spectrum, this reference gives single-point reference to all critical modules, including drilling, production, reservoir engineering, well testing, well logging, enhanced oil recovery, well completion, fracturing, fluid flow, and even petroleum economics.

Key features

  • Presents single-point access to all petroleum engineering equations, including calculation of modules covering drilling, completion and fracturing
  • Helps readers understand petroleum economics by including formulas on depreciation rate, cashflow analysis, and the optimum number of development wells

Readership

Reservoir engineers; production engineers; drilling engineers; geologists; petrophysicists; geophysicists; engineering and geotechnicians along with engineers without a petroleum engineering background throughout the world in oil and service companies
