Dynamics of Offshore Structures

Book Description
Unique, cutting-edge material on structural dynamics and natural forces for offshore structures

Using the latest advances in theory and practice, Dynamics of Offshore Structures, Second Edition is extensively revised to cover all aspects of the physical forces, structural modeling, and mathematical methods necessary to effectively analyze the dynamic behavior of offshore structures. Both closed-form solutions and the Mathematica(r) software package are used in many of the up-to-date example problems to compute the deterministic and stochastic structural responses for such offshore structures as buoys; moored ships; and fixed-bottom, cable-stayed, and gravity-type platforms.

Throughout the book, consideration is given to the many assumptions involved in formulating a structural model and to the natural forces encountered in the offshore environment. These analyses focus on plane motions of elastic structures with linear and nonlinear restraints, as well as motions induced by the forces of currents, winds, earthquakes, and waves, including the latest theories and information on wave mechanics. Topics addressed include multidegree of freedom linear structures, continuous system analysis (including the motion of cables and pipelines), submerged pile design, structural modal damping, fluid-structure-soil interactions, and single degree of freedom structural models that, together with plane wave loading theories, lead to deterministic or time history predictions of structural responses. These analyses are extended to statistical descriptions of both wave loading and structural motion.

Dynamics of Offshore Structures, Second Edition is a valuable text for students in civil and mechanical engineering programs and an indispensable resource for structural, geotechnical, and construction engineers working with offshore projects.

Petroleum Reservoir Simulations: A Basic Approach

Book Description:

Reservoir Simulations Handbook is one of the best tools that the reservoir engineer has at his disposal, allowing the engineer and geologist to create the most efficient and cost effective plan possible for drilling and production. If your simulation is faulty, too general or inaccurate in any way, this can affect the production, cost and time spent at the site, which affects the bottom line. Any of these problems can happen when a simulation is generated from a program that is outdated, an unproven method or even a set of equations that use too much guesswork. This book offers a practical, real-world approach to solving reservoir simulation problems. As a reference for the engineer in the field, it offers a new approach using more mathematical models for the engineer to devise his or her own approach to a particular problem.

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.
