The most comprehensive and thorough reference work available for
petroleum engineers of all levels.
Finally, there is a one-stop reference book for the petroleum engineer
which offers practical, easy-to-understand responses to complicated
technical questions. This is a must-have for any engineer or
non-engineer working in the petroleum industry, anyone studying
petroleum engineering, or any reference library. Written by one of the
most well-known and prolific petroleum engineering writers who has ever
lived, this modern classic is sure to become a staple of any engineer's
library and a handy reference in the field.
Whether open on your desk, on the hood of your truck at the well, or on
an offshore platform, this is the only book available that covers the
petroleum engineer's rules of thumb that have been compiled over
decades. Some of these "rules," until now, have been "unspoken but
everyone knows," while others are meant to help guide the engineer
through some of the more recent breakthroughs in the industry's
technology, such as hydraulic fracturing and enhanced oil recovery.
The book covers every aspect of crude oil, natural gas, refining,
recovery, and any other area of petroleum engineering that is useful for
the engineer to know or to be able to refer to, offering practical
solutions to everyday engineering problems and a comprehensive reference
work that will stand the test of time and provide aid to its readers. If
there is only one reference work you buy in petroleum engineering, this
is it.
