Ein ausführlicher Praxisleitfaden zu Methoden für die Lösung komplexer Probleme in der Erdöltechnik. In der Erdöltechnik dominieren übergreifende wissenschaftliche und mathematische Prinzipien. Allerdings gibt es immer wieder Lücken zwischen Theorie und praktischer Anwendung. Petroleum Engineering: Principles, Calculations, and Workflows stellt Methoden für die Lösung einer Vielzahl praktischer Probleme in der Erdöltechnik vor. Jedes Kapitel beschäftigt sich mit einer spezifischen Problemstellung, beschreibt Formeln zur Erläuterung der primären Prinzipien dieses Problems und zeigt im Anschluss einfach nachvollziehbare Handreichungen für die praktische Anwendung. Hauptmerkmale dieses Bandes: - Fundierter und integrierter Ansatz für die Lösung inverser Probleme. - Ausführliche Untersuchung der Abläufe, einschließlich Modell- und Parametervalidierung. - Einfache Ansätze für die Lösung komplexer mathematischer Probleme. - Komplexe Berechnungen, die sich mit einfachen Methoden leicht implementieren lassen. - Überblick über wichtige Herangehensweisen, die für die Software- und Anwendungsentwicklung notwendig sind. - Formel- und Modellhandreichungen für die Diagnose, erstmalige Parametermodellierung, Simulation und Regression. Petroleum Engineering: Principles, Calculations, and Workflows ist ein wertvolles Referenzwerk für die Praxis und richtet sich an eine breite Zielgruppe: Geowissenschaftler, Explorationsgeologen und Ingenieure. Dieser zugängliche Leitfaden, ein fundiertes Nachschlagewerk für die Lösung alltäglicher Probleme in der Eröltechnik, eignet sich ebenfalls gut für Studenten im Hauptstudium, Postgraduierte, Berater, Softwareentwickler und Berufspraktiker.

The need for this book has arisen from demand for a current text from our students in Petroleum Engineering at Imperial College and from post-experience Short Course students. It is, however, hoped that the material will also be of more general use to practising petroleum engineers and those wishing for aa introduction into the specialist literature. The book is arranged to provide both background and overview into many facets of petroleum engineering, particularly as practised in the offshore environments of North West Europe. The material is largely based on the authors' experience as teachers and consultants and is supplemented by worked problems where they are believed to enhance understanding. The authors would like to express their sincere thanks and appreciation to all the people who have helped in the preparation of this book by technical comment and discussion and by giving permission to reproduce material. In particular we would like to thank our present colleagues and students at Imperial College and at ERC Energy Resource Consultants Ltd. for their stimulating company, Jill and Janel for typing seemingly endless manuscripts; Dan Smith at Graham and Trotman Ltd. for his perseverence and optimism; and Lesley and Joan for believing that one day things would return to normality. John S. Archer and Colin G. Wall 1986 ix Foreword Petroleum engineering has developed as an area of study only over the present century. It now provides the technical basis for the exploitation of petroleum fluids in subsurface sedimentary rock reservoirs.

A comprehensive textbook presenting techniques for the analysis and characterization of shale plays Significant reserves of hydrocarbons cannot be extracted using conventional methods. Improvements in techniques such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have increased access to unconventional hydrocarbon resources, ushering in the “shale boom” and disrupting the energy sector. Unconventional Hydrocarbon Resources: Techniques for Reservoir Engineering Analysis covers the geochemistry, petrophysics, geomechanics, and economics of unconventional shale oil plays. The text uses a step-by-step approach to demonstrate industry-standard workflows for calculating resource volume and optimizing the extraction process. Volume highlights include: Methods for rock and fluid characterization of unconventional shale plays A workflow for analyzing wells with stimulated reservoir volume regions An unconventional approach to understanding of fluid flow through porous media A comprehensive summary of discoveries of massive shale resources worldwide Data from Eagle Ford, Woodford, Wolfcamp, and The Bakken shale plays Examples, homework assignments, projects, and access to supplementary online resources Hands-on teaching materials for use in petroleum engineering software applications The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.

This open access book offers a timely guide to challenges and current practices to permanently plug and abandon hydrocarbon wells. With a focus on offshore North Sea, it analyzes the process of plug and abandonment of hydrocarbon wells through the establishment of permanent well barriers. It provides the reader with extensive knowledge on the type of barriers, their functioning and verification. It then discusses plug and abandonment methodologies, analyzing different types of permanent plugging materials. Last, it describes some tests for verifying the integrity and functionality of installed permanent barriers. The book offers a comprehensive reference guide to well plugging and abandonment (P&A) and well integrity testing. The book also presents new technologies that have been proposed to be used in plugging and abandoning of wells, which might be game-changing technologies, but they are still in laboratory or testing level. Given its scope, it addresses students and researchers in both academia and industry. It also provides information for engineers who work in petroleum industry and should be familiarized with P&A of hydrocarbon wells to reduce the time of P&A by considering it during well planning and construction.
