<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Assuming no mathematical or chemistry knowledge, this book introduces complete beginners to the field of petroleum engineering. Written in a straightforward style, the author takes a practical approach to the subject avoiding complex mathematics to achieve a text that is robust without being intimidating.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Featuring the same non-mathematical, informal style of Chemical Engineering Explained: Basic Concepts for Novices by D. Shallcross, this book will introduces basic petroleum engineering concepts to chemists and engineers, exemplified with pertinent real-life case studies. It is intended to be used as the main textbook on specialised courses introducing petroleum engineering to non-petroleum engineers working in the petroleum, oil and gas, and chemical process industries. It can also be used as a supplementary text for mainstream introductory petroleum engineering courses and more traditional chemical engineering courses.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Assuming no mathematical or chemistry knowledge, this book introduces complete beginners to the field of petroleum engineering. Written in a straightforward style, the author takes a practical approach to the subject avoiding complex mathematics to achieve a text that is robust without being intimidating.</p> <p>Covering traditional petroleum engineering topics, readers of this book will learn about the formation and characteristics of petroleum reservoirs, the chemical properties of petroleum, the processes involved in the exploitation of reservoirs, post-extraction processing, industrial safety, and the long-term outlook for the oil and gas production. The descriptions and discussions are informed by considering the production histories of several fields including the Ekofisk field in the North Sea, the Wyburn Field in Canada, the Manifa Field in Saudi Arabia and the Wilmington Field off the Californian Coast. The factors leading up to the well blowouts on board the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico and in the Mantara Field in the Timor Sea are also examined. With a glossary to explain key words and concepts, this book is a perfect introduction for newcomers to a petroleum engineering course, as well as non-specialists in industry.</p> <p>Professor David Shallcross is one of the foremost practitioners in chemical engineering education worldwide. Readers of this book will find his previous book, Chemical Engineering Explained, a useful companion.</p>
