This book is designed to provide readers with a broad background and firm foundation to gain advanced knowledge in the field. In depth discussions of new research on drilling techniques, as well as emerging equipment used in oil extraction and the industry are presented here. Career opportunities for graduates in this field have also been included. This book attempts to compile current and ongoing research on petroleum technologies that can shed light on various areas.
This book is an introduction to oil and gas designed to be both accessible to absolute beginners who know nothing about the subject, and at the same time interesting to people who work in one area (such as drilling or seismic exploration) and would like to know about other areas (such as production offshore, or how oil and gas were formed, or what can go wrong).It begins by discussing oil and gas in the broader context of human society, and goes on to examine what they consist of, how and where they were formed, how we find them, how we drill for them and how we measure them. It describes production onshore and offshore, and examines in detail some instructive mishaps, including some that are well known, such as Deepwater Horizon and Piper Alpha, and other lesser known incidents. It looks at recent developments, such as shale oil, and concludes with some speculation about the future. It includes many references for readers who would like to read further. Mathematical content is minimal.
Petroleum is an art. To search for petroleum requires a multidisciplinary approach. The various geological, geophysical and geochemical surveys, points towards the most probable geographical locations, favorable geological structures.
Petroleum makes up for 40% of total energy consumption in the US and about 90% of the world's vehicular fuel needs are met by oil. Petroleum's worth as a portable, dense energy source powering the vast majority of vehicles and as the base of many industrial chemicals makes it one of the world's most important commodities. The top three oil producing countries are Saudi Arabia, Russia, and the US. This is an accessible text for professionals and students of all levels.
