Petroleum Production Engineering, A Computer-Assisted ApproachPetroleum Production Engineering, A Computer-Assisted Approach provides handy guidelines to designing, analyzing and optimizing petroleum production systems. Broken into four parts, this book covers the full scope of petroleum production engineering, featuring stepwise calculations and computer-based spreadsheet programs. Part one contains discussions of petroleum production engineering fundamentals, empirical models for production decline analysis, and the performance of oil and natural gas wells. Part two presents principles of designing and selecting the main components of petroleum production systems including: well tubing, separation and dehydration systems, liquid pumps, gas compressors, and pipelines for oil and gas transportation. Part three introduces artificial lift methods, including sucker rod pumping systems, gas lift technology, electrical submersible pumps and other artificial lift systems. Part four is comprised of production enhancement techniques including, identifying well problems, designing acidizing jobs, guidelines to hydraulic fracturing and job evaluation techniques, and production optimization techniques.

Page 1-11 - ... pipelines, it is necessary to give a brief review of their revelent characteristics. Importance of Oil Pipelines to the Oil Industry. — Oil pipelines account for a relatively small part of total oil industry assets and revenues, as is shown by Table 1. They are nevertheless critical to the industry, since pipelines are by far the most economical means of large-scale overland transportation for crude oil and products, and they are large in absolute terms. In 1971 interstate oil pipelines reporting...
