Product Description:
Petroleum Production Engineering, A Computer-Assisted Approach provides handy guidelines to designing, analyzing and optimizing petroleum production systems. Broken into four parts, this book covers the full scope of petroleum production engineering, featuring stepwise calculations and computer-based spreadsheet programs. Part one contains discussions of petroleum production engineering fundamentals, empirical models for production decline analysis, and the performance of oil and natural gas wells. Part two presents principles of designing and selecting the main components of petroleum production systems including: well tubing, separation and dehydration systems, liquid pumps, gas compressors, and pipelines for oil and gas transportation. Part three introduces artificial lift methods, including sucker rod pumping systems, gas lift technology, electrical submersible pumps and other artificial lift systems. Part four is comprised of production enhancement techniques including, identifying well problems, designing acidizing jobs, guidelines to hydraulic fracturing and job evaluation techniques, and production optimization techniques.
*Provides complete coverage of the latest techniques used for designing and analyzing petroleum production systems
*Increases efficiency and addresses common problems by utilizing the computer-based solutions discussed within
*Accompanying CD-ROM allows you to run computer spreadsheet programs with both U.S and SI units that can be used out in the field

Summary: Review
Rating: 4
You can follow the book through the CD which helps a lot in many cases, but it would be more interesting to have all the memory space of the CD dedicated to examples. The graphs are excelent and the worked examples really helpful.
Summary: Good book for beginners
Rating: 4
I'm a Geologist, so I need a basic knowledge of production Oil & Gas, this book cover my needs.
