The only comprehensive
volume on oil field chemicals for the petroleum, reservoir, or
drilling engineer. Oil field chemicals are gaining increasing
importance, as the resources of crude oil are decreasing. An
increasing demand of more sophisticated methods in the exploitation
of the natural resources emerges for this reason. This book reviews
the progress in the area of oil field chemicals and additives of the
last decade from a rather chemical view. The material presented is a
compilation from the literature by screening critically
approximately 20,000 references. The text is ordered according to
applications, just in the way how the jobs are emerging in practice.
It starts with drilling, goes to productions and ends with oil
spill. Several chemicals are used in multiple disciplines, and to
those separate chapters are devoted. Two index registers are
available, an index of chemical substances and a general index.
* Gives an introduction to the chemically orientated petroleum
engineer.
* Provides the petroleum engineer involved with research and
development with a quick reference tool.
* Covers interdisciplinary matter, i.e. connects petroleum recovery
and handling with chemical aspects |

A subject which has
great economic consequences in all oilfields is corrosion of
equipment. The book presents a comprehensive analysis of the theory
of corrosion in the oilfield and methods that have proved effective
for the retardation, or elimination, of corrosion. Quality control
of injection waters in then covered. Three more topics are
addressed: the first is offshore technology which is presented with
reference to onshore oilfield operations, making a lucid
presentation for field engineers who have no practical knowledge of
the subject |
