Author Description

"Volume I, General Engineering" presents material that is needed by all practicing petroleum engineers. It includes chapters on mathematics, fluid properties (fluid sampling techniques; properties and correlations of oil, gas, condensate, and water; hydrocarbon phase behavior and phase diagrams for hydrocarbon systems; the phase behavior of water/hydrocarbon systems; the properties of waxes, asphaltenes, and crude oil emulsions), rock properties (bulk rock properties, permeability, relative permeability, and capillary pressure); the economic and regulatory environment; and the role of fossil energy in the 21st century.
