Basic Petroleum Geology

Basic Petroleum Geology presents the fundamentals of geology in terms of environments of sedimentary deposition, petroleum occurrence, exploration, and recovery. The book provides an integrated overview of petroleum geology concepts and vocabulary in clear, easy-to-understand language.

Petroleum exploration and petroleum production make use of many of the same geological parameters. It is essential that geologists, geophysicists, and engineers share a common understanding of the processes in the geologic record. It is just as important that petroleum managers, landmen, and technicians, as well as attorneys, financiers, and other nontechnical professionals be conversant with the terminology and fundamental principles of petroleum occurrence, exploration, and production. Basic Petroleum Geology addresses this need by providing an overview of earth structure, plate tectonics, geologic time, historical geology, and minerals and rocks. The book has several excellent chapters on weathering, erosion, and deposition in marine, fluvial, lacustrine, desert, and glacial environments, in the context of petroleum geology.

A comprehensive chapter on structural geology demonstrates how to identify structural features and petroleum traps. It includes geometric studies and three-dimensional structural representations. Another chapter examines post-depositional processes, including diagenesis, fracturing, sediment compaction, and subsurface water, which affect the distribution and migration of petroleum.

Finally, the basics of rock properties, hydrocarbon fluids, fluid flow, and recovery mechanisms relate the geologic environment to the process of hydrocarbon production.

The clarity and completeness of the text, the numerous illustrations, and the substantial index make Basic Petroleum Geology a valuable reference for geology students and petroleum professionals who require a basic understanding of geological concepts.

Petroleum Geoscience

By Jon Gluyas (Author), Richard Swarbrick (Author)

Book Description
Petroleum Geoscience is a comprehensive introduction to the application of geology and geophysics to the search for and production of oil and gas.

Uniquely, this book is structured to reflect the sequential and cyclical processes of exploration, appraisal, development and production. Chapters dedicated to each of these aspects are further illustrated by case histories drawn from the authors' experiences. Petroleum Geoscience has a global and 'geo-temporal' backdrop, drawing examples and case histories from around the world and from petroleum systems ranging in age from late-Pre-Cambrian to Pliocene.

In order to show how geoscience is integrated at all levels within the industry, the authors stress throughout the links between geology and geophysics on the one hand, and drilling, reservoir engineering, petrophysics, petroleum engineering, facilities design, and health, safety and the environment on the other.

• Petroleum Geoscience is designed as a practical guide, with the basic theory augmented by case studies from a wide spread of geographical locations.
  
• Covers all the key aspects of the origin of petroleum, exploration, and production. It takes account of the modern emphasis on the efficient utilisation of reserves, on new methods in exploration (such as 3-D seismics).
  
• Book takes 'value-chain' approach to Petroleum Geoscience.
  
• First new text on petroleum geology for geology undergraduates to be published in the last ten years.
  
• Packed full of real-life case studies from Petroleum industry.

Fundamentals of Natural Gas Processing

Summary:

"Fundamentals of Natural Gas Processing" explores the natural gas industry from the wellhead to the marketplace. It compiles information from the open literature, meeting proceedings, and experts to accurately depict the state of gas processing technology today and highlight technologies that could become important in the future. This book covers advantages, limitations, and ranges of applicability of major gas plant processes to provide a sound understanding from system fundamentals to selection, operation, and integration into the overall gas plant. It also describes the major operations involved in bringing the gas to the plant, information not usually discussed in most gas processing books. Comprehensive chapters cover field operations, inlet receiving, compression, dehydration, hydrocarbon recovery, nitrogen rejection, liquids processing, sulfur recovery, and the increasingly popular liquefied natural gas industry, focusing on liquefaction, storage, and transportation. The book also discusses plant economics, offering ways to make initial cost estimates of selected processes and determine capital costs of gas processing facilities. The descriptive approach in "Fundamentals of Natural Gas Processing" makes this comprehensive text and reference well suited for both technical and non-technical personnel in the industry including chemical or mechanical engineers, plant engineers, students, and those who are new to the field.
